Book excerpt: "Reno is located in far-west central Nevada in the lee of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. Reno is on the boundary between two distinct climatic regimes. The first regime is the dry high desert climate of the western Great Basin. The second regime is that of the alpine Sierra Nevada. Both regimes greatly influence Reno's climate. As a result of its location in the high desert of the Great Basin, Reno experiences large temperature ranges on both a diurnal and an annual scale. During the summer afternoon highs are often above 90° F, but at night the air mass can cool down into the 50s. In the last five or six years however, nighttime lows during July and early August sometimes do not make it below 65° F. As will be seen in the tables in the Temperature section below, this warming trend has been seen in summer high temperatures, but not to the extent that it is reflected in the nighttime temperatures."--Introduction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wonderland of the West: Valuable Information Concerning Nature's Sanitarium, Reno, Nevada, and Its Surroundings in the Sierras-Lakes Tahoe, Donner, Webber, Independence and Pyramid Phthisis is not indigenous to Nevada; the first authenticated case originating in this climate having yet to be discovered. Nor is it alone those who are afflicted, or those threatened with this dread scourge, that will be benefited by residence here, for it has been fully proven that this is indeed Nature's sanitarium for asthma and chronic bronchitis as well. While excessive altitude might prove an injury to those suffering from bronchial affection, experience has demonstrated that Reno's moderate altitude is beneficial in the greatest degree to this class. Among our resident population are to be found numbers who had elsewhere, through a long series Of years, been afflicted with' the distressing com plaints just mentioned, but whose coming to this climate has resulted either in complete or in such partial recovery as has made life once more enjoyable. Some of these, who have traveled in nearly all lands in quest of health do not hesitate to pronounce our climate matchless in respect to aiding in the restoration Of this invaluable boon. Asthmatic patients especially have experienced relief in an incredibly short time after their arrival, in some cases only a few weeks elapsing until their nocturnal slumbers have been m undisturbed, much to their joy.' Many Of this class, whether wholly or partially recovered from their disease, dare hardly go to reside at a low altitude, or in a damp climate, for fear of its return; while here they feel assured that they are safe and, as a consequence, are willing to remain.

Download or read book Historic Houses and Buildings of Reno Nevada written by Holly Walton-Buchanan and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide highlights the architectural and historical significance of more than sixty important homes, ranch houses, and buildings in Reno, Nevada. Known as The Biggest Little City in the World since the 1930s, when quickie divorces and casino gaming were legalized by the Nevada Legislature, Reno has reinvented itself several times during its nearly 150 years of history. Founded in the 1860s on the banks of the scenic Truckee River in Northern Nevada, Reno has had a fascinating journey, from its beginnings as an Emigrant Trail outpost, to its role in the mid-1930s invention of the hotel and casino industry. Cattle barons, mine speculators, and bank presidents in 19th century Reno built their mansions on the high bluff above the Truckee River, surrounded by extensive gardens, transforming the arid little town into what author Walter Van Tilburg Clark called The City of Trembling Leaves. Also featured is the beautiful University of Nevada, Reno, campus, with its Neoclassical buildings designed by Reno s most prominent architect, Frederic Delongchamps. Enhanced with both historical and contemporary photographs, the book includes maps, a glossary of architectural terms with local examples, and a list of architectural styles found in Reno.

Book excerpt: A 2016 Green Book Festival "Future Forecasts" Winner A stunningly original, lushly illustrated vision for a Green Utopia, published on the 500th anniversary of the original Big Idea. Five hundred years ago a powerful new word was unleashed upon the world when Thomas More published his book Utopia, about an island paradise far away from his troubled land. It was an instant hit, and the literati across Europe couldn't get enough of its blend of social fantasy with a deep desire for a better world. Five hundred years later, Ecotopia 2121 once again harnesses the power of the utopian imagination to confront our current problems, among them climate change, and offer a radical, alternative vision for the future of our troubled planet. Depicting one hundred cities around the globe—from New York to San Francisco, London, Tokyo, Sydney, Rio de Janeiro, Mexico City, Beijing, Vienna, Singapore, Cape Town, Abu Dhabi, and Mumbai—Alan Marshall imagines how each may survive and prosper. A striking, full-color scenario painting illustrates each city. The chapters tell how each community has found either a social or technological innovation to solve today's crises. Fifteen American cities are covered. Around the world, urban planners like to tailor scenarios for the year 2020, to take advantage of the metaphor of 20-20 vision. In Ecotopia 2121, the vision may be fuzzy, but its sharp insights, captivating illustrations, and playful storytelling will keep readers coming back again and again.
