The Baltimore Textbook

19 December 2012

★ David London

 

The Baltimore Textbook was a senior thesis project by Becky Slogeris, which “attempts to connect Baltimore youth with their local environment, including lessons on civiv engagement, transportation, and housing.

Despite the book’s target audience of elementary school children, it has a wealth of information and a simplified look at how our city works, that would be enjoyed by all.
