MitchellHow much does the current landscape of Boston, Massachusetts, resemble the land mass known as the Shawmut Peninsula, where it was conceived and built hundreds of years ago, a place that Captain John Smith referred to in 1614 as, "the paradise of all these parts"? Join us for an evening with John Hanson Mitchell, author of the classic "Ceremonial Time" and many other books, as he discusses Boston's natural past.

"The Paradise of All These Parts" offers a one-of-a-kind perspective on one of America's most historic cities. It combines natural history that never fails to entertain and inform with beautiful language and a wealth of fascinating facts about the natural and not-so-natural world of Boston.
