Big Box Reuse (book)
In Big Box Reuse, Julia Christensen shows us how ten
communities have addressed this problem, turning vacated Wal-Marts and Kmarts
into something else: a church, a library, a school, a medical center, a
courthouse, a recreation center, a museum, or other more civic-minded
structures. In each case, what was once a shopping destination becomes a center
of community life.

Wall-E
As the last
robot left on earth, Wall-E is one small robot--with a big, big heart--who holds
the future of earth and mankind squarely in the palm of his metal hand. Wall-E
is a great family film with the most impressive aspect being the depth of
emotion conveyed by a simple robot--a machine typically considered devoid of
emotion, but made so absolutely touching by the magic of Pixar animation.
