UK DEVELOPS ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRESS When the United Kingdom ratified the Kyoto Protocol on climate change, it was taking a lead from continental Europe.

RUSTIC CABIN ESSENCE During the Great Depression of the 1930s, The Civilian Conservation Corps built countless structures in U.S. state and national parks, providing jobs to unemployed youth. Many of these bridges, benches, and cabins were designed and documented by Albert H. Good, consulting architect for the National Park Service. His goal was to present structures that "appear to be a part of their settings." During this 70th anniversary year of the CCC, we look back at some of his classic cabin designs. — Editor
