Books with title Lost Cities

Andrew, the son of a Dinotopian innkeeper, makes a strange discovery one night when a hooded dinosaur leads him and two friends to a remote, sealed-off city. When they begin to explore the forbidden area, the trio are thrust into a dangerous adventure--one they can survive only if they can put aside their chronic rivalries and come to understand the lost race of TroÜdons, who have existed there in seclusion for centuries.

Cities, discusses how cities manage expansion, reduce pollution, develop transportation solutions, looking at urban development, and changing the way people live. Additional features include: a table of contents, glossary, index, color photographs, maps, charts, and graphs, quotations from environmental experts, case studies, and websites for further exploration.

Cities have always been the incubators of new ideas, economic innovation, and social reform. But recent demands and expectations placed on cities and their citizens are unprecedented: everything from chronic poverty and homelessness to massive energy consumption and nonstop suburban sprawl. In this timely book, cities specialist John Lorinc considers the enormous implications of the worldwide mass migration away from rural regions. He shows how solutions can emerge from neighborhoods and dynamic networks linking communities to governments and the broader urban world. Beyond the search for better housing, transit, economic opportunity, and security within neighborhoods, today’s city-dwellers confront a fundamental question about what it means to live in our urban world. How do people from vastly different cultures and economic circumstances learn to accommodate one another's needs within the confines of very dense and complex mega-cities? This book offers a well-reasoned, creative answer to that question.

Two teenage boys are stunned when they see a mysterious cloud shape that resembles Apache Indian chief Cochise. The moon is blood red that night to add to the strange phenomenon. Later Nicholaas is transported to the 1800's when he witnessed the events that caused blood shed on both sides. Settlers were moving into the cities outside of Tuscon to search for Gold, Silver and Turquoise. Nicholaas is frightened when the arrow that transports him on his magical adventures has melted. He loses faith that he will ever see his parents again. Nicholaas finds in reality that he never left the Dragoon mountains and finds his way back to his parents he loves so much
