ENDANGERED HISTORIC PLACES 2007 The National Trust for Historic Preservation (NTHP) has announced its 2007 list of the "11 Most Endangered Historic Places" in the United States. The NTHP list for 2007 includes a typically wide variety of sites, from individual houses of remarkable men to broad landscapes scattered with accumulated marks of history. Few of the sites are the work of famous architects, but all speak to the cultural significance of buildings and places.

Record-breaking floods washed over substantial areas of the United Kingdom in June and July, from South London to Northern Ireland. Likely influenced by a La Niña cycle in the Pacific Ocean, the U.K. experienced a warm, dry April, followed by a series of unseasonably heavy rain storms. Repeated flooding has left several people dead, damaged tens of thousands of homes, caused £2 billion (US$4.1 billion) or more in property damage, killed livestock, and ruined crops.
