Customer Reviews

Beautiful Book

This is a coffee table book full of photographs of California's diverse and varied climates and regions. The theme of the book is California's land, and the relationship Californian's have had with the bounty of their state. The book begins with an introduction by State Historian Kevin Starr and a pictoral history of each region of California. The book can be appreciated for its beautiful photographs and its engaging text. One can understand, after reading this book, the emotions that the beauty of California provoked in naturalists like John Muir and others.

a beautiful suprise

I was given this book today as a conservation award -- it couldnt have been a nicer suprise. the pictures and illustrations are magnificent, and the text is enrapturing. This is a book i will save to share with my children.
