Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from In the Carquinez Woods Lost spires glittered, faded, and went utterly out. A weird twilight that did not come from the outer world, but seemed born of the wood itself, slowly filled and possessed the aisles. The straight, tall, colossal trunks rose dimly like columns of upward smoke. The few fallen trees stretched their huge length into obscurity, and seemed to lie on shadowy trestles. The strange breath that filled these mysterious Vaults had neither coldness nor moisture. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: HALF BREED His name was Low. Part Indian, part white, he lived in the Carquinez Woods in the untamed wild of California. A fine frontiersman and a dead shot, Low Dorman lived on the land, but studied books paid for by grizzly bear hides. But two women came into his life. Miss Nellie Wynn, eighteen year old daughter of Reverend Wynn, whose passionate kisses had turned his head from what he knew was best. And Teresa, wild hellion, wanted for murder, yet tamed by her love for the man in the Carquinez Woods. When Teresa escaped her captors, and came sought refuge in Low's secret place in the woods, she brought the Sheriff Dunn and the wrath of civilization following her. And then the world erupted into flames. Adapted into one of the first films of the great silent film actor Douglas Fairbanks, this is a classic from the pen of a great American storyteller.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from In the Woods: A Book for the Young And A happy New Year 1 sings the Robin Red breast in his cheeriest tones just outside the window. He has been picking up his meal of crumbs, and now he flies up to the holly bush, and thanks you for them as energetically as if it were midsummer for it must be very cold indeed to put the robin out of spirits. Perhaps the robin's welcome is the best of all; not because he is such an Old friend - and old friends' greetings are always the pleasantest - but because he is just telling out his own experience. It is as though he were saying what good things came to him last year without his seeking them. SO he expects them again this year, and he quite believes it will be the same with you.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Frontier Stories The sun was going down on the Carquinez Woods. The few shafts of sunlight that had pierced their pillared gloom were lost in unfathomable depths, or splintered their ineffectual lances on the enormous trunks of the red woods. For a time the dull red of their vast columns, and the dull red of their cast-off bark which matted the echoless aisles, still seemed to hold a faint glow of the dying day. But even this soon passed. Light and color fled upwards. The dark, interlaced treetops, that had all day made an impenetrable shade, broke into fire here and there; their lost spires glittered, faded, and went utterly out. A weird twilight that did not come from an outer world, but seemed born of the wood itself, slowly filled and possessed the aisles. The straight, tall, colossal trunks rose dimly like columns of upward smoke. The few fallen trees stretched their huge length into Obscurity, and seemed to lie on shadowy trestles. The strange breath that filled these mysterious vaults had neither cold ness nor moisture; a dry, fragrant dust arose from the noiseless foot that trod their bark-strewn floor: the aisles might have been tombs; the fallen trees, enormous mum mies the silence, the solitude of the forgotten past.

Download or read book The Country in the City written by Richard A. Walker and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2009-11-23 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Western History Association's 2009 Hal K. Rothman Award Finalist in the Western Writers of America Spur Award for the Western Nonfiction Contemporary category (2008). The San Francisco Bay Area is one of the world's most beautiful cities. Despite a population of 7 million people, it is more greensward than asphalt jungle, more open space than hardscape. A vast quilt of countryside is tucked into the folds of the metropolis, stitched from fields, farms and woodlands, mines, creeks, and wetlands. In The Country in the City, Richard Walker tells the story of how the jigsaw geography of this greenbelt has been set into place. The Bay Area�s civic landscape has been fought over acre by acre, an arduous process requiring popular mobilization, political will, and hard work. Its most cherished environments--Mount Tamalpais, Napa Valley, San Francisco Bay, Point Reyes, Mount Diablo, the Pacific coast--have engendered some of the fiercest environmental battles in the country and have made the region a leader in green ideas and organizations. This book tells how the Bay Area got its green grove: from the stirrings of conservation in the time of John Muir to origins of the recreational parks and coastal preserves in the early twentieth century, from the fight to stop bay fill and control suburban growth after the Second World War to securing conservation easements and stopping toxic pollution in our times. Here, modern environmentalism first became a mass political movement in the 1960s, with the sudden blooming of the Sierra Club and Save the Bay, and it remains a global center of environmentalism to this day. Green values have been a pillar of Bay Area life and politics for more than a century. It is an environmentalism grounded in local places and personal concerns, close to the heart of the city. Yet this vision of what a city should be has always been informed by liberal, even utopian, ideas of nature, planning, government, and democracy. In the end, green is one of the primary colors in the flag of the Left Coast, where green enthusiasms, like open space, are built into the fabric of urban life. Written in a lively and accessible style, The Country in the City will be of interest to general readers and environmental activists. At the same time, it speaks to fundamental debates in environmental history, urban planning, and geography.
