Check out this video of the new St. Gabriel's Church in Toronto.
Not only is its harmony with the earth reflected in it's Gold LEED rating, but the harmony between light and glass creates a reflection of the heavenly as well.

Earth Art
A new exhibit at the Royal Botanical Gardens explores the relationship of structure and design in art and nature. Installations can be found throughout the gardens, on land and in water.

The shape of things to come...
Check out the latest in Dubai...a $350m, 68-storey tower designed by Italian architect David Fisher. Each floor rotates 360 degrees, constantly changing the shape of the building.
Interested in more skyscrapers? Check out the new Rare Book display in the hallway beside the library, and in the display cases just inside the library entrance.

This year's choice for Waterloo Region's 'One Book, One Community' is...
The 100-mile Diet: A year of eating locally
by Alisa Smith and J.B. MacKinnon
The book chronicles their year of strictly eating only the foods that came from within a 100-mile radius of their home in Vancouver. You can now find this book in our collection (call# TX 360 .C22 B74x 2007a).
While you're at it, come and check out our multi-media display of related materials, from books to DVDs, local articles and the Waterloo and Hamilton Buy Local, Buy Fresh maps!
In a time of global warming, food riots and rising gas prices, growing your own food or buying locally is a great way to start building sustainable communities. It's summer and we live in Southern Ontario...fresh and local food abounds! While it may be hard to give up on things like rice, olive oil, coffee or chocolate, it's easy to make up the rest of your diet with food that is only a short walk away. Try eating locally for a weekend, go a month without buying processed foods, walk over the Farmer's Market every Saturday morning, grow some tomatoes in your window. Eating fresh and locally will benefit your health AND the planet's. I challenge you!
Wondering what 100 miles means to you here in Cambridge? Have a look...
