Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a beautiful collection of writings about the natural history of Berkeley, California, which evolved over a million years from the Pacific Ocean and was twice glaciated during the Ice Age. Beginning with the indigenous inhabitants who lived on its shores as long ago as 3,000 years, it captures the spirit of humanity's arrival and impact on the landscape. Through a collection of diverse essays, the author weaves together the stories of the arrival of the Spanish, the founding of the Franciscan missions, the growth of ranching, and, finally, the establishment of the University of California, Berkeley, with its commitment to the study of the natural world. The author captures the transformation of Berkeley from indigenous home to global center of learning through the voices of those who witnessed its changes, and underscores the importance of preserving and appreciating its natural beauty even in the midst of a dynamic and ever-changing human world.
