Farewell, Promised Land: Waking from the California Dream

Rating:
Summary: Dismal Documentary
Review: A careful but rather biased account of California's environmental disasters, this book will make the thoughtful reader feel depressed, because it offers no solution to any of the problems it exposes.

Rating:
Summary: Great Photos - Good Environmental Information
Review: Enjoyable read that works well as a large picture book. For those unfamiliar with the history of the development of California this would be a good start. Timely and accurate overview of the destruction of natural California.

Rating:
Summary: Best Book on the Demise of California
Review: This book taught me a great deal about the history and culture of California and it's environmental demise. As a landscape architect I found it particularly interesting the history of the landscape of California.
