 California
Wild: Preserving the Spirit and Beauty of Our Land
Celebrates the beauty of the Golden State, interprets its natural
wonders, and inspires you to care for this remarkable place
with joy, foresight, and stewardship. With a blend of natural
history, evocative writing, informative passages, and personal
experience, writer Tim Palmer brings this spectacular landscape
to life. His photographs, and those of Terry Donnelly and Mary
Liz Austin, take you to some of the most spectacular landscapes
in America. While much of the California landscape has been
changed in the past several generations, much still remains
undeveloped. This book captures the spirit of that wildness
and reminds us that the exquisite workings of nature are essential
to all of life. 'California Wild' takes you on a tour of mountains
and forests, deserts and seashores, grasslands, lakes, and rivers.
You'll experience this great state in all seasons, and you'll
share incomparable views from the highest mountaintop down to
the Pacific surf at sea level. Finally, Palmer tells you about
the California Wild Heritage Campaign and the efforts of thousands
of people to protect wild land and rivers, which still reveal
the force of nature in all its glory. California

 Los
Angeles
Few cities in the world lend themselves better to full colour
poster-size photographs that will appear throughout this deluxe
over sized volume. Whether it's the best of examples of contemporary
architecture by Lautner and Gehry or the extravagant natural
resources, long-time resident Timothy Street-Porter captures
the essence of the LA experience. He takes us on the requisite
drive by the most coveted homes of Hollywood and Beverly Hills,
winding past Malibu, Santa Monica, and Bel-Air. From Venice
Beach to Rodeo Drive, Tudor Mansions to motels, the Cathedral
of Our Lady of the Angels to the Chateau Marmont, Deco theatres
to Drive-ins, this exhilarating ride takes us from the most
glamorous to the most eccentric, from high culture to pop, with
glimpses at all that is LA. With her background as actress,
photographer, and preservationist, long-time Los Angeles resident,
Diane Keaton is the ideal candidate to introduce this multi-faceted
book.
