Paperback. Condizione: Fair. UNDER THE BRIDGES AT AROYO DEL REY: THE SALON ON THE SPIRITUALY CREATIVE LIFE is an inspirational book appealing to a public searching for a deeper and more meaningful life. Its focus is on the power of positive thought to lift one out of the mundane and into a more fulfilling existence. Author Carol Soucek King, MFA, PhD, uses her home, Arroyo del Rey*, which she and her husband Richard King created with architects Conrad Buff I and Don Hensman in Pasadena, California, as a metaphor for finding one's own perfect dwelling place. Yet as she reminds the reader throughout, finding one's real estate is a quest that must begin with being harmoniously at home with one's inner being. Through the shared wisdom and true stories of friends, acquaintances and speakers at King's monthly Salon on the Spiritually Creative Life, the healing nature of King's message becomes obvious: our lives can be changed beyond imagining through a commitment to reversing that which is negative and empowering that which is uplifting and spiritual. As The Salon itself has become a vehicle for sustaining such thought since King founded it in 1996, she has concluded the book with a helpful section, Create Your Own Salon. Capturing the essence of each of the book's ten Tales are the sensitive sketches by artist/illustrator/book designer Miller Yee Fong. *Arroyo del Rey has been designated a Historic Monument by the City of Pasadena, and in the future will be given to the University of Southern California's School of Architecture to become the USC Carol Soucek King and Richard King Center for Architecture, Arts and the Humanities in perpetuity.

A Los Angeles Times bestsellerA CrimeReads 2019 most anticipated/best bookSet against two distinct epochs in the history of Pasadena, California, Arroyo tells the parallel stories of a young inventor and his clairvoyant dog in 1913 and 1993. In both lives, they are drawn to the landmark Colorado Street Bridge, or "Suicide Bridge," as the locals call it, which suffered a lethal collapse during construction but still opened to fanfare in the early twentieth century automobile age. When the refurbished structure commemorates its 80th birthday, one of the planet's best known small towns is virtually unrecognizable from its romanticized, and somewhat invented, past.Wrought with warmth and wit, Jacobs' debut novel digs into Pasadena's most mysterious structure and the city itself. In their exploits around what was then America's highest, longest roadway, Nick Chance and his impish mutt interact with some of the big personalities from the Progressive Age, including Teddy Roosevelt, Upton Sinclair, Charles Fletcher Lummis, and Lilly and Adolphus Busch, whose gardens were once tabbed the "eighth wonder of the world." They cavort and often sow chaos at Cawston Ostrich Farm, the Mount Lowe Railway, the Hotel Green and even the Doo Dah Parade. But it's the secrets and turmoil around the concrete arches over the Arroyo Seco, and what it means for Nick's destiny, that propels this story of fable versus fact.While unearthing the truth about the Colorado Street Bridge, in all its eye-catching grandeur and unavoidable darkness, the characters of Arroyo paint a vivid picture of how the home of the Rose Bowl got its dramatic start.…
