Boston Made: From Revolution to Robotics, Innovations That Changed the World
I want to share my excitement at finally publishing our book revealing Boston as one of the most prolific innovation centers in the world for more than four centuries. Built on 20 years of research by my co-author, Dr. Bob Krim, along with my insights from writing about the Massachusetts tech scene for many years, you will find this to be a fun and enlightening book that will change how you think about our region!
As a friend, family member, or business associate, I hope you will consider purchasing the book or sharing this email with anyone you think might be interested!
Best Regards,

Naismith did it and basketball was born.
