Select Condition 
Book Overview
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.

This is a book worth reading for lovers of San Antonio and South Texas, but also for those interested in the urban history of America. The author, a history professor at Trinity University in San Antonio, blends some political science with history in the telling of this interesting story.
