Revelation 6:3-43. When the Lamb opened the second seal, John heard the second living creature saying, "Come and see." Another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and there was given to him a great sword.

It may be the most interesting and yet loneliest spot on Earth: a volcanic rock surrounded by a million square miles of ocean, named for the day Dutch explorers discovered it, Easter Sunday, April 5, 1722. Here, people created a complex society, sophisticated astronomy, exquisite wood sculpture, monumental stone architecture, roads, and a puzzling ideographic script. And then they went about sculpting amazing, giant human figures in stone.

The California gold rush of 1849, created fortunes for San Francisco merchants, whose wealth depended on control of the city's docks. But ownership of waterfront property was hotly contested. In an 1856 dispute over land titles, a county official shot an outspoken newspaperman, prompting a group of merchants to organize the San Francisco Committee of Vigilance.

Street Farm is the inspirational account of residents in the notorious Low Track in Vancouver, British Columbia, one of the worst urban slums in North America, who joined together to create an urban farm as a means of addressing the chronic problems in their neighborhood. It is a story of recovery, of land and food, of people, and of the power of farming and nourishing others as a way to heal our world and ourselves.

I wrote this book because I want you to have a great experience building your new home or remodeling your existing home. It is possible. You don't have to listen to your friends who say, "Oh, remodeling is a nightmare," or "Building a house is a dreadful experience. I'll never do it." I don't want you to be in that category.

In Mallparks, Michael Friedman observes that just as cathedrals represented power relations in medieval towns, and skyscrapers epitomized those within industrial cities, sports stadiums exemplify urban America at the turn of the twenty-first century.

The story of how one woman's long love affair with New York's Central Park led her to organize its rescue from a state of serious decline, returning it to the beautiful place of recreational opportunity and spiritual sustenance that it is today. Interwoven into her own story is a comprehensive history of Central Park: its design and construction as a scenic masterpiece; the alterations of each succeeding era; the addition of numerous facilities for sports and play; and finally, the "anything goes" phase of the 1960s and 70s, which was often fun but nearly destroyed the park.

Tras perder la audición de un oído al paso de una ambulancia, Gabi Martínez se preguntó cómo afecta el entorno urbano a nuestra salud. Este audiolibro, narrado por el autor, reflexiona sobre la necesidad de transformación de las ciudades ante un modelo urbano ya caduco y nos cuenta cómo se creó la idea de la supermanzana, uno de los conceptos urbanísticos más revolucionarios de las últimas décadas: su acogida, su implantación y las polémicas que generó.

A great Ruskin book that is better listened to than read because of the complexity and detail of his writing.

Le città europee sono più di un luogo fisico, più della somma dei loro edifici, sono l'esito di una "intenzione estetica" che nasce dalla quotidianità dei cittadini. Marco Romano ripercorre le origini storiche di questa lunga ricerca della bellezza, individuando così il contributo fondamentale, sebbene poco raccontato, che le donne hanno dato a questo sviluppo. È stato infatti l'intuito e il desiderio femminile a suggerire ieri come oggi molte soluzioni che hanno dato forma alle nostre città, dalle capitali ai villaggi.

No writer followed the building of the Freedom Tower more closely than Esquire’s Scott Raab. Between 2005 and 2015, Raab published a landmark 10-part series about the construction. He shadowed both the suits in their boardrooms and the hardhats in their earthmoving equipment, and chronicled it all in exquisite prose. While familiar names abound - Andrew Cuomo, Chris Christie, Mike Bloomberg and Larry Silverstein, the real estate developer who only a few weeks before 9/11 signed a 99-year, $3.2 billion lease on the World Trade Center - just as memorable are the not-so-famous.

Per quale motivo tutti, o quasi tutti, vogliono vivere in città? Le possibili risposte sono molte. Livio Sacchi, da architetto, è convinto che il principale motivo per cui le città piacciono così tanto sia sostanzialmente uno solo: in città ci si sente e si è più liberi che altrove. Affrancando le identità dei singoli dalle aspettative familiari e sociali e permettendo a chi vi abita di provare a diventare ciò che vuole, le città consentono qualcosa di molto prossimo all'autodeterminazione del proprio essere.
