Photography. History. The story of California is the story of water, and no book tells it better than this one. Featuring literary works by some of California's best-known authors, brilliant full-color and duotone photographs, and essays that highlight water's ecological, historical, and political role in the state, this book from the Water Education Foundation will give readers a greater understanding of this valuable and endangered natural resource. This textured book helps move us closer toward peaceful restoration and reconciliation, by compiling the wisdom, images and experience of battlefield veterans -- Bruce Babbitt.
