Book excerpt: Boston's South Shore is bracketed by two of the oldest settlements in North America: Plymouth to the south, where the Pilgrims landed in 1620, and of course Boston to the north, where the Puritans began building their "city on a hill" a few years later. And there's a whole lot of history in between, as well. As Amy Whorf McGuiggan writes in her foreword to this beautiful portfolio of South Shore images, "The history of our nation-from first footings to Revolutionary War to clipper ships to immigration-is recorded in the annals of South Shore towns. It is a place, still, of ancient Native American names and charming monikers that recall gentler times. It is a place of manicured town greens with whitewashed bandstands, Fourth of July parades, New England-style town meetings, stately old meeting houses and clapboarded Cape Cod and colonial houses surrounded by picket fences. It is a place of wandering roads fashioned from the old byways that had been cow paths, a place where it is easy to imagine how things looked a century ago. It is a place of natural beauty: beaches and harbor islands, pine forests, pristine lakes and cranberry bogs." The South Shore does not have the rocky, storm-tossed coast of Boston's North Shore nor did it have, until recently, the social cachet (some might say snobbery) of the opposite coast. But in Greg Derr's images, collected over two decades of covering the area and its people for the region's leading newspaper, the South Shore is clearly a collection of fascinating communities, each of them unique, with a common heritage to treasure.

Download or read book Looking Back at South Shore History written by John J. Galluzzo and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2013-08-13 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Plymouth Rock to Quincy granite, the South Shore of Boston has been a place of revolution, relaxation and revelation. Artists have gained inspiration from the meeting of sea and shore, enemy navies have targeted its strategic ports and, in better days, merrymakers have sought its warming sun, cooling breezes, amusement parks and historic and natural landmarks. The Toll House Cookie, the song "When the Red, Red Robin (Comes Bob, Bob, Bobbin' Along)" and the U.S. Navy's rallying cry "Don't give up the ship " all were South Shore born. John Galluzzo, author of "The North River: Scenic Waterway of the South Shore" and "When Hull Freezes Over," gathers the best of his "Look Back" column in this compilation of historic vignettes from "South Shore Living" magazine.

Download or read book Climate Change Impacts on Ocean and Coastal Law written by Randall S. Abate and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015-01-28 with total page 699 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ocean and coastal law has grown rapidly in the past three decades as a specialty area within natural resources law and environmental law. The protection of oceans has received increased attention in the past decade because of sea-level rise, ocean acidification, the global overfishing crisis, widespread depletion of marine biodiversity such as marine mammals and coral reefs, and marine pollution. Paralleling the growth of ocean and coastal law, climate change regulation has emerged as a focus of international environmental diplomacy, and has gained increased attention in the wake of disturbing and abrupt climate change related impacts throughout the world that have profound implications for ocean and coastal regulation and marine resources. Climate Change Impacts on Ocean and Coastal Law effectively unites these two worlds. It raises important questions about whether and how ocean and coastal law will respond to the regulatory challenges that climate change presents to resources in the oceans and coasts of the U.S. and the world. This comprehensive work assembles the insights of global experts from academia and major NGOs (e.g., Center for International Environmental Law, Ocean Conservancy, and Environmental Law Institute) to address regulatory challenges from the perspectives of U.S. law, foreign domestic law, and international law.
