You can visualize how the city grew through landfill and annexation and where The Great Molasses Flood flew. With data collected from public sources, you can also see how structural forces have shaped the social and lived experience of Bostonians: inside are maps of redlining, urban renewal practices, and the busing of schoolchildren. Andy Woodruff's inventive cartography captures quirks of the city as well, such as Boston's distinctive three-decker residences, rogue turkeys, and Smoots. These clear and colorful maps make The Hub's history, urban plans, and lore easy-to-read and engaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAndy Woodruff is a cartographer who has worked on everything from hiking trail maps to digital data visualizations for over twenty years.
