Today I share a non-fiction book I am currently reading that I LOVE! A History of Boston in 50 Artifacts by
Joseph M. Bagley - it's fascinating! Bagley, the current City Archaeologist of Boston was inspired to write this book after hearing an
NPR story about the release of a book in 2011 by the British Museum entitled A History of the World in 100 Objects (MacGregor). In addition to being a great read, all the author proceeds of A History of Boston in 50 Artifacts go to the City Archaeology Program. You can follow the City of Boston Archaeology on
Facebook or if you prefer their
website. Many middle and most high school students could read this book on their own. Younger students would benefit from reading this book with a teacher or parent.
For the record, I am generally reading several books at any one time!
