and the California Dream, 1850-1915
by Kevin Starr
While dramatizing the debate over what California was and what it should
be, Starr also exposes the fallacies and contradictions inherent in the
dream itself. All the ferment of the state's history is presented here
as the citizens themselves lived through it.

: An Interpretive History
by James J. Rawls, Walton Bean
Book Description: This is a revision of a classic survey history of
California. Ever since its first appearance nearly thirty years ago, one

vital developments of California in the 20th century. The excellent balance
of narration and interpretation continues in this edition. It offers an
unparalleled account of contemporary California, the events of the late
80's and 90's, as well as expanded coverage of social and cultural history,
particularly on the post-1960's.

by Jack W. Dykinga (Photographer), Janice Emily Bowers
When rain finally comes to "the land of little rain," the results are
spectacular. Desert washes run thick with water only to become, a few months
later, a raging current of wildflowers. But even drought doesn't drain

stunning collection of photographs that shows the Mojave Desert in all
its moods.
