Remedy that by visiting the Body Worlds Vital exhibit, now on view upstairs at Quincy Market within Faneuil Hall Marketplace. Created by physician and anatomist Gunther von Hagens, the exhibit features real (donated) human bodies preserved through a process called Plastination (invented by von Hagens). While seeing real human bodies in various states of activity can be intriguing and even shocking, the idea is to give insight into the structure and function of both healthy and unhealthy bodies.

Located in Assembly Row, the brand-new neighborhood complex in Somerville, Legoland features two Lego rides, a 4D movie experience and Miniland, a showcase of Lego miniature replicas of Boston’s most famous buildings, including the mini-Boston Public Library that was on display in the Johnson Building of the BPL last month.

To combat the issue, green spaces were built so residents could es- cape the hustle and reconnect with nature. In New York, this meant the creation of Central Park. In Boston, a seven-mile-long stretch of greenery connected by parkways was constructed, which came to be known as the Emerald Necklace. The first, and arguably most impor- tant, jewel in the necklace was the Arnold Arboretum. Founded in 1872, the Arnold Arboretum was the first public arboretum in North America, and is the second-biggest part of the Emerald Necklace Scientist Charles Sprague Sargent, who was ap- after Franklin Park. The arboretum was named after pointed the first director of the arboretum, curated James Arnold, who donated a portion of his estate and noted the different species of trees, vines and to the promotion of horticultural improvements. This shrubbery in the area, while Frederick Law Olmsted donation, combined with Benjamin Bussey’s estate, designed and implemented the road system and created the plant sanctuary that resides in Jamaica plant scheme to blend with the rest of the parks in Plain and Roslindale today. the Emerald Necklace.

  • A History of Forest Hills
    A HISTORY OF FOREST HILLS FOREST HILLS is the most complex area of Jamaica Plain.i Transformed by transportation over two centuries of time, Forest Hills challenges the definition of neighborhood. About a mile long and a half-mile across, Forest Hills has been shaped by geography more than any other part of Jamaica Plain. It sits in a valley at the confluence of two streams flanked by two hills on which have been landscaped two Boston landmarks and American institutions: The Arnold Arboretum and Forest Hills Cemetery. The hills that channeled the streams also channeled transportation routes beginning in 1806 with the Norfolk and Bristol Turnpike (today Washington Street). I. FOREST HILLS was for over a hundred and fifty years a crossroads in an obscure corner of Roxbury known as Canterbury. Three 17th century roadways converged in that valley – South Street (or the road leading out of the Dedham highway – today called Centre Street) along John Weld’s farm meandering along an irregular line into present day West Roxbury; Walnut Avenue, or the road to the Great Lotts wound its way through Roxbury highlands from Warren Street (the upper Road to Dorchester and Plymouth) at present-day Dudley Square; Walnut Avenue and South Street formed a crossroads about where the Arborway crosses South Street today. Coming off South Street a bit south of the crossroads was Walk Hill Street that ran to the Dorchester line at Harvard Street. At Forest Hills the traveler could go to Roxbury, Dedham or Dorchester. Walnut Avenue and South Street crossed over on wood plank bridges two steams that mark the valley.

Jessee Submitted to the graduate degree program in English and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ________________________________ Chairperson, Associate Professor Laura L. Mielke ________________________________ Professor Susan K. Harris ________________________________ Professor Iris Smith Fischer ________________________________ Professor Kenneth L. Irby ________________________________ Professor Sherrie Tucker Date Defended: April 9, 2014 ii The Dissertation Committee for Jessica L. Jessee certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: POETIC ACTS: PERFORMANCE IN NINETEENTH-CENTURY AMERICAN WOMEN’S POETRY, 1840-1880 ________________________________ Chairperson, Associate Professor Laura L. Mielke Date approved: April 9, 2014 iii ABSTRACT My dissertation explores representations of performance (theatrical, oratorical, domestic, and social) in works by canonical poets Emily Dickinson and Sarah Piatt, popular performers Fanny Kemble and Adah Menken, and Spiritualist trance lecturer Achsa Sprague. I consider the work of women poets within the context of a highly performative mid-nineteenth-century American culture – one rich not only in traditional forms such as drama, oratory, sermons and musical performances, but also emerging and developing forms like the revival, public lecture, literary and dramatic recitations, breeches performances, and spiritualist demonstrations. Along with new forms came new media, technologies, and venues for public performance, as well as novel opportunities for women to participate. The prevalence of performance, and the power of its rhetorical techniques and strategies to both inspire and influence audiences, had a profound effect on female writers and their own creative acts.

It was then the first publication introducing Aaron Swartz’s lifetime work —see Page 3 for details. In August 2015, the publishing company The New Press, claiming to have legally obtained exclusive copyright from Aaron’s legal IP owner —Dr. Sean B. Palmer— took unlawful steps to shutdown our publication; shortly thereafter, The New Press published a scaled-down version of Raw Thought, Raw Nerve. A similar action was performed shorlty after the release of our second edition. In an article titled “If I get hit by a truck...”, Aaron stated “If I get hit by a truck [...] the contents of all my hard drives [should] be made publicly available”. It should be noted that in all articles published by Aaron on his blog, he never claimed to be against commercial publishing. Aaron was, however, against abusive or restrictive copyright. As such, when the first edition of this book was released, we did not claim exclusive copyright.
