Deep in the Heart of San Antonio: Land and Life in South Texas

by Char Miller

Deep in the Heart of San Antonio: Land and Life in South Texas Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Char Miller's essays cover a wide range of South Texas topics, from natural and environmental history to urban development to San Antonio's future. Miller uses simple subjects—the First Friday Art Walks in South Town, for example—as a springboard for a deeper discussion of urban city planning and an elusive future of sensible growth and diversity. Moving farther afield, he examines the water wars between the U.S. and Mexico, a quarry turned upscale shopping center, and San Antonio's curious attempts to brand itself as a health resort.
