...space, people would be protected from floods and there would be a positive ecological effect." "The brutal reality is that it takes a major flooding event to galvanize societies and governments to take action," says Michael Hulme, director of the Tyndall Institute at the U.K.'s University of East Anglia. "This certainly happened in Britain two years ago [when the country endured widespread flooding during the wettest autumn on record], and I suspect it will now happen in Central Europe." The residents of Prague have certainly learned their lesson. A barrier similar to the mobile floodwall that was assembled around...

He kindly asks the visiting journalist to ignore them. Too late. It's a car--a drawing of the magically souped-up Ford Anglia that carries Harry and Ron to their second year at Hogwarts.

This way, you see, you can stop by and visit some of the most...
...first, the story is one of displacement and adaptation. The severe, timber-framed houses of the New England Puritans are the same houses that were built in Old England, in East Anglia, in the 17th century, because that was what the Puritans knew how to build. The Fraktur paintings and the massive decorated schranks, or family wardrobes, made by the Pennsylvania Dutch were German decorative arts, transplanted. When a Virginia sotweed planter in 1750 wanted a portrait of his successful self, he chose an artist who could do a passable version of what was fashionable in England and hung...
