The Great Workshop:  (English, Hardcover, Rosenberg)

Before the automobile age, when Americans lived close to their families and walked to work, the communities that eventually became metropolitan Boston were busy forging the nation s industrial future in local mills and factories. The Great Workshop examines the growth of these towns and illustrates a time when Boston was on the cutting edge of a new culture, when its optimistic residents saw themselves as the hub of the universe, actively building a better world."
