The purposes of this study were to analyze and describe leisure activities, in order to provide useful data for school administrators, teachers, and writers of textbooks for Indian children. Particular consideration will be given in this field research to the following questions: 1. What are Taos Indian children's preferences for leisure activities? 2. Do children of the same Pueblo but of different sex have similar leisure activities?

A strip in Taos County, New Mexico, eight miles long and three miles wide along New Mexico Highway 3 from U.S. Hill to Talpa, Fort Burgwin Ridge, has outcrops of Precambrian metaquartzite (1800 my bp) and cataclastic granite (1760 my bp) overlain by Mississippian limestone and Pennsylvanian fan delta sediments of the western Taos Trough. Twelve cross sections are used to demonstrate (1) Pennsylvanian syndepositional vertical movements, (2) Laramide thrusting that folded the Mississippian and Pennsylvanian rocks along splay faults to the east of the Pecos-Picuris Fault (see Fig. 40), and (3) Late Miocene to present-day normal and strike slip faulting, which is related to Rio Grande Graben rifting and appears to have reactivated earlier fault zones. The north-trending structures appear to be subsidiary to the Pecos-Picuris Fault, a major geofracture that parallels the map area to the west. / text

Earthships are buildings which are constructed almost entirely of recycled materials and are built to be almost totally self sufficient through the recycling of rain water, the recycling of solar energy into electrical energy, passive solar techniques and sometimes the recycling of wind through turbines, also into electrical energy. This thesis draws out and demonstrates the logic that Earthship architecture emerges from and generates amongst its inhabitants. This logic, it is argued, can be characterized as containing elements of the baroque and Neo-baroque. It is a logic of following and interfacing the elements (earth, sun, wind, rain) that folds them into itself. In such a space it is impossible to delineate any strict division between the inside and outside of a house. The inside becomes a node, interval, or point of passage of the outside and domestic life emerges from a complex and dynamic rhythmic arrangement with the outside. Such a space emerges from and generates a new sense of nature as cycles, flows, and interconnections which are fundamentally inseparable from architecture, technology or domestic life. This thesis also argues that to properly understand Earthships it is necessary to draw out the sense of historical and natural catastrophe that has impacted their origin and present incarnations.
