The Revolution Will Not Be Microwaved Sandor Ellix Katz (See book keywords and concepts) There would be plenty of room to create new housing without displacing gardens if gardens were valued more highly by city planners and officials. But developers like large, continuous areas to work with, and housing is a more tangible good than gardens and is more likely to bring financial gain to the owners of the properties (in most cases the city, the supposed guardian of the public interest). Housing and gardens are both legitimate needs. However, they are not intrinsically in conflict but rather historically have been integrated.

The Lost Language of Plants: The Ecological Importance of Plant Medicines for Life on Earth Stephen Harrod Buhner (See book keywords and concepts) A two-thousand-year-old tree or an ecosystem filled with a tumultuous, complex riot of interacting plant species/eeZs markedly different from a lone sapling surrounded by the grass planted in the front yard of a new housing development, or the Norfolk pine in the corner of the kitchen. The green orderly lawns surrounding children's homes do not bear any relationship to the up-and-down, uneven landscapes filled with giant, craggy outcroppings of the immeasurably ancient stones of Earth that wild landscapes often possess.

Vanderbilt, Cornelius An American business leader of the nineteenth century; the founder of the Vanderbilt fortune.

Health from the Seas: Freedom from Disease John Croft (See book keywords and concepts) Shore-based developments, such as new housing or industrial estates, can have a significant influence on estuarine and close coastal waters. The increased runoff of rainwater due to the existence of roof areas, use of hoses for washing cars, as well as other activities carries garden sprays, oils, and other road-surface contaminants with it into stormwater drains, ending up in streams and rivers that drain into the sea. These may then flow right through a farm area and contaminate the crop. Note that I have referred to changes in land use in discussing these factors.

Death By Prescription: The Shocking Truth Behind an Overmedicated Nation Ray Strand, M.D. (See book keywords and concepts) Dreams did come true, and the newly-weds closed on their first little starter house in Elk Grove, a new housing division just outside of town. Like many young couples, Katie and her husband wanted to postpone having children until their financial situation became reliable. After being married three years, Beau and Katie's careers were stable, and they felt settled in. The garage (instead of the second bedroom) now stored their bikes, kayaks, and camping gear. They finished putting in the landscaping and privacy fence. They were ready.

The Origin Diet: How Eating Like Our Stone Age Ancestors Will Maximize Your Health Elizabeth Somer, M.A., R.D. (See book keywords and concepts) While walking and running were the only means of transportation up until six thousand years ago, when the horse was domesticated, today walking has become so rare that new housing developments are designed without sidewalks. The statistics are frightening: • Only one in nine adults exercises regularly during his or her leisure time. • Two out of five American adults are classified as downright sedentary, with heart rates seldom rising above an idle. • Only 15 percent of adults include some form of exercise at least three times a week for twenty minutes or more.
