The California Delta is the hub of the complicated water infrastructure that serves much of the state. The landscape is rife with tension--both historically and geologically--in the interplay between water and land, now heavily altered by human intervention. The delta is currently encountering a new crisis: climate change, which promises to disrupt the levee system currently in place and the delicate balance of fresh water and salt water. In the face of this highly unstable situation, Katherine Rinne asked the students in her 2007 Architecture for a Hybrid Landscape studio course at the California College of the Arts to design a hypothetical new California Water Research and Interpretive Center facility on a delta site. Architecture for a Hybrid Landscape showcases the students' innovative designs, along with essays, artworks and photography.

In about half an hour we went back, and the dog was dead, so we took him down and went to the house. The girl's mother came very near giving us a thrashing, but the father was to blame. He said he did not think we would do it, yet we should have the party. So everything was arranged for the party next night but in the morning the dog was back at the house ready for his breakfast. The old scoundrel had come back to life. It seemed as if everyone on the place was glad the dog came back. The old folks gave us our party, but we both agreed not to hang a dog that- could not be killed. But the same day we drowned a big hog too quick and easy to realize what we had done. The hog lot gate got open, and one of the hogs got out and we hemmed him up and caught him across the creek. He was a large hog and heavy to handle. We had to take him by the hind legs and jmsh him to the lot. The nearest way was through a hole of water, about knee deep; but we did not care for the water. So we pushed him in and shoved him across, his head under the water. When we got him to the opposite bank, we had all kinds of a time to pull him out, and when we did he was as dead as a hammer. We expected to get a scolding and dreaded to go to the house; but when we did,, and explained the matter, we were not blamed., while,, of course everyone hated it. I have not given all my little funny pranks, and while I had my fun,, I had some hardships, and if you will read the Pioneer History, you will learn what a frontier boy in Texas had to experience. By reading this book, you will learn a great deal that is profitable. CHAPTER VII. HISTORY OF PIONEER DAYS IN TEXAS AND OKLAHOMA By John A. Hart....

"Wherever Texas and cattle are mentioned in the same breath, the name of Charles Goodnight is bound to crop up...renowned as the man who opened the Texas Panhandle to ranching." -Kerrville Mountain Sun, Aug. 27, 1942 "Goodnight's own story of...ventures in Texas, New Mexico and Colorado, and...hazards of driving cattle to the market...is recounted in 'Pioneer Days in the Southwest.'" Kerrville Times, July 23, 1942 "Charles Goodnight is perhaps more extensively known than any other western ranchman, cattle owner, and pioneer." Our imagination has been fired by such pioneer names as Boone, Kenton and the Wetzels in the pioneer days in Kentucky, and later farther west on the great plains and the Rocky Mountains we have other historical names, Kit Carson, Buffalo Bill (Cody), Payne and others, but very little has ever been written about the great southwest, where the Indian tribes of the prairie made their last struggle for supremacy, and where they had conflict with the first settlers and pioneers, who with all they held dear on earth, hewed out homes for themselves and the coming generations amid the most indescribable dangers from their foes. Pioneer Days is written by the rank and file who were the true heroes and heroines, who suffered and gave their lives and the lives of those near and dear to them, in order to lay the foundation for future happy homes, peace and prosperity. The writers of this book were the small remnant yet left who were the actual participators in these early struggles, and they give their experiences, unadorned, without any claim to literary merit; for the writers were by then old. When you read their simple statements of facts of Indian conflicts, of terrible suffering and privations, so unassumingly told by them, it is only fitting that those who have had the advantage of schools and Christianity, and refinement, of which they were almost entirely deprived, to cover their rough and often ungrammatical sentences with the cloak of Christian charity, and interline them with garlands of flowers and chivalry which truly belongs to them. With contributions from Charles Goodnight (1836-1929), Emanuel Dubbs (1843-1932), and John A. Hart (1790-1840), the 1909 book "Pioneer Days in the Southwest" gives unadorned truths and conditions that fortunately have passed out forever. A great portion is devoted to the life of Charles Goodnight the first pioneer of the Texas Panhandle.
