réf. 22738Boston: Beacon Press: Thomas Todd Printer Congregational House Room 25 1881. 2 16pp 8vo. In wraps on the front cover of which is printed the title-page with a 'Note' by Wilder on the reverse. Sixteen pages of text with drop-head title: 'Churches and Ministers Considered'. In poor condition aged and worn. Wilder's note explains his motive for writing: 'I am nearly four-score years of age - my life covering almost three generations. My opportunities for observation in city and country North South East and West have been abundant. Conscious that my days are few I could not depart without putting on record my convictions touching matters of gravest moment concerning the Church of God. My testimony feeble at the best yet such as it is will be found in the following pages. The simple hope that I might do something to remedy the evils felt and deplored has been my only motive in writing. If these pages shall arrest the attention of good men - ministers and laymen - and set them to search out the causes and to find the cure for so many feeble pastorates and wasting congregations I shall be more than satisfied.' Six copies on OCLC WorldCat and now scarce. Boston: Beacon Press: Thomas Todd, Printer, Congregational House, Room 25, 1881. paperback

1976réf. 86192Barre MA: Barre Publishing 1976. First Edition stated presumed first printing. Trade paperback. Very good. Mark Driscoll. x 182 pages. Illustrated cover. Illustrations. Maps. Bibliography. Index. Cover has a mild curve up at the front edge. Introduction by Walter Muir Whitehill. Previous owner's name in ink inside front cover. This work covers the Waterfront to the Fenway Beacon Hill to Roxbury and the Back Bay to Cambridge. The Boston Society of Architects is one of the oldest and largest chapters of the AIA. The Boston Society of Architects BSA is a nonprofit membership organization committed to architecture design and the built environment. On June 20 1867 approximately 50 architects convened in the City of Boston to sign the articles of association for the Boston Society of Architects. Since this time the BSA has grown to approximately 4000 members. The BSA became the eastern Massachusetts regional association of the AIA in 1870. It has sister chapters in Central Massachusetts and Western Massachusetts. The membership of the BSA supports ArchitectureBoston Magazine an ideas-focused publication edited by Boston Globe columnist Renée Loth; and BSA Space a gallery for public architecture and design-related exhibitions. They convene annually at the Architecture Boston Expo convention. The BSA promotes and enhances the practice of architecture and design through such programs as building-industry conventions Build Boston and Residential Design and Construction skills training design lectures job and college fairs ARE study groups Common Boston Week and more. ArchitectureBoston is the BSA's ideas magazine. The Boston Society of Architects has brought the centuries together with words and pictures in a unique publication. Invaluable to the more-than-casual visitor and indispensable to the serious student of architecture it is a lively resource for community advocates seeking to understand and improve their neighborhoods. From Beacon Hill "a brick Acropolis for the Athens of America" to the tantalizing mix of the historic and the avant garde that is Cambridge the ideas and events of the past can be read in today's treasury of '"build form." Long known as a city with wall-to-wall history Boston has invested its elderly structure with new and relevant uses while adding new building that respect much of what has gone before. Walter Muir Whitehill 1905 - 1978 was an American writer historian medievalist and the Director and Librarian of the Boston Athenaeum from 1946 to 1973. He was also editor for publications of the Colonial Society of Massachusetts from 1946 to 1978. From 1951 to 1972 Whitehill was a professor at Harvard University. Whitehill received his AB and AM degrees from Harvard in 1926 and 1929. Shortly after this he married Jane Revere Coolidge a descendant of Thomas Jefferson and eldest daughter of Julian Coolidge. He then went to England where he received a Ph.D. from the University of London. In 1932 he did in Santiago de Compostela the first full transcription of the medieval Codex Calixtinus. Whitehill was selected to deliver an important televised address about the history and development of Boston on the occasion of the Bicentennial Celebration of the United States. On July 11 1976 he spoke at the Old State House in the presence of Queen Elizabeth II the Mayor of Boston the Governor of Massachusetts and a large audience. The text of his address was printed in a publication by the Bostonian Society which operates the Old State House on behalf of the National Park Service. He delivered the commencement address in 1974 at the College of William and Mary. Although Whitehill's publishing career focused on Bostoniana his significant work on Spanish medieval topics represented the first American interest in the subject. Barre Publishing paperback

1986réf. 81241Boston: News Group Boston Inc 1986. EXTRA edition for Tuesday January 28 1986. Newspaper. Good. Format is approximately 11.25 inches by 15 inches. 76 pages. Illustrations. The Boston Herald is an American daily newspaper whose primary market is Boston Massachusetts and its surrounding area. It was founded in 1846 and is one of the oldest daily newspapers in the United States. It has been awarded eight Pulitzer Prizes in its history including four for editorial writing and three for photography before it was converted to tabloid format in 1981. The Herald was named one of the "10 Newspapers That 'Do It Right'" in 2012 by Editor & Publisher. The Herald American converted to tabloid format in September 1981 but Hearst faced steep declines in circulation and advertising. The company announced it would close the Herald American-making Boston a one-newspaper town-on December 3 1982. When the deadline came Australian media baron Rupert Murdoch was negotiating to buy the paper and save it. He closed on the deal after 30 hours of talks with Hearst and newspaper unions-and five hours after Hearst had sent out notices to newsroom employees telling them they were terminated. The newspaper announced its own survival the next day with a full-page headline: 'You Bet We're Alive!' Murdoch changed the paper's name back to the Boston Herald. This scarce surviving "EXTRA" edition offers a snapshot in time as to what was known believed suspected and conjectured in the minutes and hours after the news broke. It provides a baseline for comparison with what later emerged as the 'facts' 'reasons' and 'explanations' for the disaster." The Space Shuttle Challenger disaster was a fatal incident in the United States space program that occurred on January 28 1986 when the Space Shuttle Challenger OV-099 broke apart 73 seconds into its flight killing all seven crew members aboard. The crew consisted of five NASA astronauts and two payload specialists. The mission carried the designation STS-51-L and was the tenth flight for the Challenger orbiter. The spacecraft disintegrated over the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Cape Canaveral Florida at 11:39 a.m. EST 16:39 UTC. The disintegration of the vehicle began after a joint in its right solid rocket booster SRB failed at liftoff. The failure was caused by the failure of O-ring seals used in the joint that were not designed to handle the unusually cold conditions that existed at this launch. The seals' failure caused a breach in the SRB joint allowing pressurized burning gas from within the solid rocket motor to reach the outside and impinge upon the adjacent SRB aft field joint attachment hardware and external fuel tank. This led to the separation of the right-hand SRB's aft field joint attachment and the structural failure of the external tank. Aerodynamic forces broke up the orbiter. The crew compartment and many other vehicle fragments were eventually recovered from the ocean floor after a lengthy search and recovery operation. The exact timing of the death of the crew is unknown; several crew members are known to have survived the initial breakup of the spacecraft. The shuttle had no escape system and the impact of the crew compartment at terminal velocity with the ocean surface was too violent to be survivable. The disaster resulted in a 32-month hiatus in the Space Shuttle program and the formation of the Rogers Commission a special commission appointed by United States President Ronald Reagan to investigate the accident. The Rogers Commission found that NASA's organizational culture and decision-making processes had been key contributing factors to the accident with the agency violating its own safety rules. NASA managers had known since 1977 that contractor Morton-Thiokol's design of the SRBs contained a potentially catastrophic flaw in the O-rings but they had failed to address this problem properly. NASA managers also disregarded warnings from engineers about the dangers of launching posed by the low temperatures of that morning and failed to adequately report these technical concerns to their superiors. Approximately 17 percent of the American population witnessed the launch on live television broadcast because of the presence of high school teacher Christa McAuliffe who would have been the first teacher in space. Media coverage of the accident was extensive; one study reported that 85 percent of Americans surveyed had heard the news within an hour of the accident. The Challenger disaster has been used as a case study in many discussions of engineering safety and workplace ethics. News Group Boston Inc unknown

The Boston Globe sometimes abbreviated as The Globe is an American daily newspaper founded and based in Boston Massachusetts since its creation by Charles H. Taylor in 1872. The newspaper has won a total of 26 Pulitzer Prizes as of 2016 and had a total paid circulation of about 136000 in the year ending in August 2016. The Boston Globe is the oldest and largest daily newspaper in Boston. Founded in the late 19th century the paper was mainly controlled by Irish Catholic interests before being sold to Charles H. Taylor and his family. After being privately held until 1973 it was sold to The New York Times in 1993 for $1.1 billion making it one of the most expensive print purchases in U.S. history. The newspaper has been noted as "one of the nation's most prestigious papers." In 1967 The Globe became the first major paper in the United States to come out against the Vietnam War.
