Book Octavo, hardcover, near fine in lightly edgeworn blue pictorial dj. 474 pp; dividing California into geographic regions in order to better explain its cultural & sociological diversity--from the hot deserts and high peaks that mirror the Southwest and the Rockies to the rain forests, the farmlands that feed a nation, the Maine-like rocky coast, the sandy beaches, and the cold steppes. From each he selects one emblematic feature-a chain of dry lakes, and ocean inlet, an earthquake fault, a river-upon which to hang a series of linked stories about natural objects and human characters as dissimilar as Native Americans and ranchers, missile scientists and dam builders, movie actors and real estate developers.
