DOWNLOAD EBOOKHeart's Desire is a little settlement hidden away in a corner of the West "where men have gone to live at peace--without law and without women." The inhabitants dozed in the sunshine, smoked, drank, gambled a little, toiled fitfully, fought occasionally, and dreamed a good deal. Then the railroad came, and the dreams were gone. Along the railroad came Constance and the old vexations that troubled Eden and have troubled every assemblage of men ever since. It is a picture of rough Western life, with clever character delineations -- Book jacket

DOWNLOAD EBOOKUrban and natural environments are often viewed as entirely separate entities human settlements as the domain of architects and planners, and natural areas as untouched wilderness. This dichotomy continues to drive decision-making in subtle ways, but with the mounting pressures of global climate change and declining biodiversity, it is no longer viable. New technologies are promising to provide renewable energy sources and greener designs, but real change will require a deeper shift in values, attitudes, and perceptions. A timely and important collection, The Natural City explores how to integrate the natural environment into healthy urban centres from philosophical, religious, socio-political, and planning perspectives. Recognizing the need to better link the humanities with public policy, The Natural City offers unique insights for the development of an alternative vision of urban life.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIt looks a long ways acrost from here to the States, said Curly, as we pulled up our horses at the top of the Capitan divide. We gazed out over a vast, rolling sea of red-brown earth which stretched far beyond and below the nearer foothills, black with their growth of stunted pines. This was a favorite pausing place of all travellers between the county-seat and Heart's Desire; partly because it was a summit reached only after a long climb from either side of the divide; partly, perhaps, because it was a notable view-point in a land full of noble views. Again, it may have been a customary tarrying point because of some vague feeling shared by most travellers who crossed this trail, -the same feeling which made Curly, hardened citizen as he was of the land west of the Pecos, turn a speculative eye eastward across the plains. We could not see even so far as the Pecos, though it seemed from our lofty situation that we looked quite to the ultimate, searching the utter ends of all the earth
