	Tintern Abbey
		he abbey buildings were arranged in a standard Cistercian plan, except that the cloisters and all its ancillary buildings were to the north of the church rather than to the south, which was more usual.
		In the late 12th century the first-floor monk's dormitory, which ran northwards from the north transept of the church, was extended; its northern end and the latrines over the drain to its east are of this phase.
		The abbey and grounds are surrounded by a 4ft stone fence.

	Ecology Hall of Fame: Edward Abbey

		Abbey took this as part of the foundation of his philosophy, drawing on his academic studies in anarchism.

	A FEW WORDS IN FAVOR OF EDWARD ABBEY
		Abbey, character is given, or it takes, a certain precedence, and that precedence makes him a writer and a man of a different kind—and probably a better kind—than the practitioner of mere sobriety, information, and logic.
		Abbey's most endearing virtue as an autobiographer is his ability to stand aside from himself and recount his most outrageous and self-embarrassing goof-ups, with a bemused and gleeful curiosity, as if they were the accomplishments not merely of somebody else, but of an altogether different kind of creature.
		Abbey's sentence, masquerading as an instance of his well-known "iconoclasm," slices through the distractions of the controversy to the historical and constitutional roots of the issue.

		Tackling the entire Abbey Collection, 30 boxes of papers spanning 12 feet and nearly 50 years of constant writing, journaling, essaying, sketching, and screeing at editors with his letters, is too big a task for one week.
		Abbey had always been a dependable guide, getting me out into the white stuff before it was peppered with fl dots of development, contained in a grid of access routes.
		Doug Peacock, the basis for Hayduke, was among the close friends and family who sat by Abbey's side as he lay dying at home, refusing the indignity of a hospital room and even having his wife and friends whisk him out to the desert to die in what proved to be a false alarm.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Abbey
		The Normans adopted this arrangement; and in their church-planning the English oblong type of chancel gradually took the place of the Romanesque and continental apse, and the Basilica plan was abandoned for that of the Gothic, of a crossing or transept, separating nave from chancel, the latter being extended to make room for the choir.
		The final evolution of the style peculiar to England is due to the Cistercians, the characteristic of whose Abbeys was extreme simplicity and the absence of needless ornament; their renunciation of the world was evidenced in all that met the eye.
		Few English Abbeys of note, however, were of homogeneous architecture; in fact, the mixture of styles, though sometimes almost bewildering, adds to what is left of these stately piles a greater picturesqueness ever pleasing to archaeologist and artist.

	ABBEY & ME
		Peggy decided to stay with Abbey for a couple of days (she was to drive my truck to Diamond Creek and then hike down to meet me at Phantom Ranch).
		Abbey passed through quite often, stopping to visit and enjoy a beer at my makeshift warehouse---a former small garage that now housed my boating equipment, my books, a bunk, a hot plate, and me. It lacked inside water and a toilet.
		Abbey had a surprise for me when he came over once to see me. With a grin, he handed me a copy of his new manuscript, The Monkey Wrench Gang.

		As well, our restaurant friends are finding Abbey to be an appealing addition to their lists of ports, brandies and single malts.
		Abbey is worthy of being furnished as a stand alone liquid dessert, a euphoric palate enhancer in the cigar humidor, a stairway to heaven companion to chocolate, or a pleasing brain twister when served with espresso.
