Synopsis:
Discusses California's eleven bioregions, describes each endangered species, and covers such topics as butterfly poaching.
This is an extraordinary book, delivering a somber appraisement in an exceptionally attractive and imaginative format. The introduction describes California's 11 bioregions, the impact of development, and conservation legislation. Each phylogenetic section (mammals, birds, fish, etc.) begins with a Native American legend or legends and an interview with an appropriate expert concerning wildlife management and public awareness of wildlife endangerment. Each endangered species is then described in engaging, nontechnical writing, including estimates of remaining populations, significant threats to survival, and current conservation and recovery measures; map insets show range and distribution. A pleasing profusion of sidebars and short essays covers such diverse topics as observations by nineteenth-century travelers, the consequences of oil spills and water diversions, the DDT disaster, and butterfly poaching.
Copious photos and illustrations (462 total, 342 in color), will undoubtedly make this intrinsically important book a visual pleasure as well.

The Blue Planet a Natural History of the Oceans Hardcover Book
Located in North Hollywood, CA
The Blue Planet A Natural History of the Oceans.
From space Planet Earth is blue. It floats like a jewel in the inky black void. The reflection of the suns light from the vast expanse of water covering its surface creates its gem-like blue colour. In the entire solar system Earth is the only planet that has water in its liquid form in such quantities. Scientists have calculated that 70% of our planet is covered by water; small wonder then that humans have always been so fascinated by the oceans and what lies beneath. Today while we still have so much more of the ocean realm to uncover we have discovered enough to know that beneath the waves lies a vast treasure-trove of rich and diverse life. The Blue Planet leads us on a voyage of exploration from the coasts, the very edges of the oceans.

Montecito Style: Paradise on California's Gold Coast
By Phaidon
Located in New York, NY
A privileged peek at the homes and gardens of the exclusive Southern California enclave, Montecito.
The seaside town of Montecito is often overshadowed by its neighbor Santa Barbara—which is generally how its residents like it. Though home and refuge to numerous celebrities, Montecito’s intentional cultivation of a low-key profile has allowed for a unique community to emerge, and with it, a multifaceted interior and garden design culture. Montecito Style: Paradise on California’s Gold Coast is the first book to present twenty houses and landscapes in an eclectic range of styles and rich architectural legacy that coalesce into a quintessential "California style."
The residences featured in this book reflect the diversity of design that has defined California living for more than a century: early standard-setters by George Washington Smith and an Andalusian-style abode by his protégé (and Santa Barbara’s first licensed female architect) Lutah Maria Riggs, Beaux-Arts mansions, converted carriage houses, nouveau palazzi, low-slung midcentury modern abodes, an iconic concrete-and-glass house from the 1970s, and even a studio apartment...
