{"product_id":"legendary-locals-of-brookline-jennifer-campaniolo-9781467101370","title":"Legendary Locals of Brookline","description":"For its first 75 years, Brookline was a bucolic area of Boston, with rolling hills and low-lying salt marshes. Named \"Muddy River\" by its residents after a shallow tidal estuary bordering Roxbury, Brookline had no more than 50 families inhabiting it when it was incorporated as an independent town on November 13, 1705. Long regarded as a liberal, progressive community, Brookline is a model of how an effective town government can positively impact the life of its citizens. Brookline boasts numerous Nobel Prize winners--doctors, scientists, and researchers who have made enormous strides in their fields. Brookline shares Boston's strong literary tradition, with residents like poet Amy Lowell and mystery writer Dennis Lehane. Brookline's pedestrian-friendly infrastructure, with many residents who eschew cars and shop locally, attracts many small-business owners such as Dana Brigham and Seth Barrett. Brookline has been home to a number of sports luminaries like Larry Bird, Terry Francona, and Robert Kraft. Famous politicians include the 35th president, John F. Kennedy, who was born in Brookline; former governor Michael Dukakis; and New York mayor Michael Bloomberg. Legendary Locals of Brookline tells their stories, as well as the stories of some of the lesser-known heroes and humanitarians who make Brookline a great place to call home.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jennifer Campaniolo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1467101370\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781467101370\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing (SC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.40w x 0.50d","brand":"Jennifer Campaniolo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43936097108223,"sku":"9781467101370","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_e9c2ee43-1d15-4e5e-bff9-98c4a91f495d.jpg?v=1681423573","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/legendary-locals-of-brookline-jennifer-campaniolo-9781467101370","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
