  There is also a Web page for the World Watch Institute and magazine at
www.worldwatch.org. Be careful not to put ".com" at the end; that points to
an entirely unrelated web page. There is a picture of the cover (very
dramatic image of houses isolated from each other on oversize stumps) and a
summary of the article. I don't think the full text of the article is
available for free on the Web page, so you may still need the email address
or a good newsstand.
