This anthology was produced as an homage to Sheldon Myers, an editor at Oxford University Press who ushered into print some of the greatest historical works of the last 40 years. There was great variety in the places discussed, including Fenway Park, Queens and the Grand Canyon. They wrote of how the place shaped them as people or how the place impacted their career or how they felt connected through the power of place. Good stuff, though it was very long.
