This book contains three tours. The first is of four buildings by H.H. Richardson, the American master architect, in the Copley Square area in Boston. With about a tenth of Richardson's surviving buildings on display, Copley Square is a permanent blockbuster exhibition.The second tour is of five buildings in the Harvard Square area in Cambridge. Three are by Richardson, one in brick, one in stone, and one in wood. Two buildings pay tribute to Richardson's work. Four of the five buildings are at Harvard University, Richardson's alma mater.The third is not a walking tour or entirely a tour of existing buildings. It is a rolling tour, on a train, largely of buildings that no longer stand. Richardson designed four stations on what is now the Green Line of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority.

This is a collection of quotations about the nature of prayer. Quotations include these: "I pray that I may be able to pray properly." "It is of course possible to dance a prayer." "The very act of lighting the candle is prayer." "Even if all you can say to God is 'Help!' it is still very good. Repeat this over and over again, until God opens your lips and the words begin to flow from your heart." The foreword puts the quotations into perspective and poses these questions: When we pray, to whom do we pray, God-or ourselves? When we pray, do we speak to God, or is it the other way around? Is God near or distant? Does a prayer need words? Do a prayer's words matter? If we don't feel like praying, do the words count as prayer? If we don't feel like praying, should we still pray? What is prayer anyway? Is it possible to dance a prayer? To live life as a prayer? If everything can be a prayer, do we need to make time to pray?
