Since water is the basis of life, composing the greater part of the tissues of all living things, the crucial problem of desert animals is to survive in a world where sources of flowing water are rare Since man’s inexorable necessity is to absorb large quantities of water at frequent intervals, he can scarcely comprehend that many creatures of the desert pass their entire lives without a single drop Uncompromising as it is, the desert has not a limited life but only those forms unable to withstand its desiccating effects No moist skinned, water-loving animals can exist there Few large animals are found The giants of the North American desert
are the deer, the coyote, and the bobcat Since desert country is open, it holds more swift-footed
running and leaping creatures than the tangled forest Its population is largely nocturnal, silent, filled with reticence, and ruled by stealth Yet they are not emaciated Having adapted to their austere environment, they are as healthy as animals anywhere else in the world The secret of their adjustment lies in the combination of behaviour and physiology
None could survive, like mad dogs and Englishmen, if they went out in the midday sun, many would die in a matter of minutes So, most of them pass the burning hours asleep in cool,
humid burrows underneath the ground, emerging to hunt only by night The surface of the

The Arts and Crafts Movement in the United States was responsible for sweeping changes
in attitudes toward the decorative arts, then considered the minor or household arts Its focus on decorative arts helped to induce United States museums and private collectors to begin collecting furniture, glass, ceramics, metalwork, and textiles in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries The fact that artisans, who were looked on as mechanics or skilled workers
in the eighteenth century, are frequently considered artists today is directly attributable to the Arts and Crafts Movement of the nineteenth century The importance now placed on attractive and harmonious home decoration can also be traced to this period, when Victorian interior arrangements were revised to admit greater light and more freely flowing spaces
The Arts and Crafts Movement reacts against mechanized processes that threatened handcrafts and resulted in cheapened, monotonous merchandise Founded in the late nineteenth
century by British social critics John Ruskin and William Morris, the movement revered craft
as a form of art In a rapidly industrializing society, most Victorians agreed that art was an essential moral ingredient in the home environment, and in many middle and working-class homes craft was the only form of art Ruskin and his followers criticized not only the degradation of artisans reduced to machine operators, but also the impending loss of daily contact with handcrafted objects, fashioned with pride, integrity, and attention to beauty
In the United States as well as in Great Britain, reformers extolled the virtues of
handcrafted objects: simple, straightforward design; solid materials of good quality; and sound, enduring construction techniques These criteria were interpreted in a variety of styles, ranging from rational and geometric to romantic or naturalistic Whether abstract, stylized, or realistically treated, the consistent theme in virtually all Arts and Crafts design is nature
The Arts and Crafts Movement was much more than a particular style; it was a
philosophy of domestic life Proponents believed that if simple design, high-quality materials, and honest construction were realized in the home, then the occupants would enjoy moral and therapeutic effects For both artisan and consumer, the Arts and Crafts doctrine was seen as a magical force against the undesirable effects of industrialization
