Southern California : An Island on the Land - Paperback

from David.A.Rainey

Loved this book. It takes you back to before urban sprawl, when there were still orange groves in the area. It's quite a shock when you compare the author's So. California to what it is today.

from deusvitae

A fantastic history of southern California, detailing the cultural changes, the boom cycle, the geography and climate, and other various elements of southern California from its discovery by Spaniards until 1946. Worth the read to understand many of the reasons why things are the way they are there.
