Berkeley 1900: Daily Life at the Turn of the Century, 2nd Edition, By Richard Schwartz 8.5 x 11 inches; 330 pages; 320 images, Paperback 10th anniversary edition ISBN: 978-0967820446; $24.95, Published September 2009. In recent years, a complete interpretation of our past has come to be defined less in terms of famous people and momentous happenings and more through an examination of ordinary people and everyday events. In his 10th anniversary edition of Berkeley 1900, Richard Schwartz displays once again a pure gift for taking this interpretation to new heights. From a stack of mouldy and disgarded Berkeley Daily Gazette newspapers, he has discovered unmined snippets of history to tell his story. He has rediscovered people and events long lost in the cracks of time. Each page is filled with charming, amusing, factual, poignent and always revealing articles showing how life was, how it has changed, and how it remains the same.
