Paperback. Etat : New. "San Diego in the 1930s" offers a lively account of the city's culture, roadside attractions, and history - from the days of the Spanish missions to the pre-Second World War boom. The guide is revealing both in the opinions it embodies and in the juicy details it records - tidbits such as the bloodiest and… most incompetently fought battle of the Mexican-American War, Emma Goldman's abruptly terminated speech to local Wobblies in 1912, and even a delightfully anachronistic way to beat a San Diego speeding ticket. Brimming with tours that can prove challenging to retrace, this book reminds us of the changes wrought by seven decades of intervening war, peace, and biotechnology. Unlatching a remarkable trapdoor into the past, this compact and charming document of the Depression era invites repeated browsing and is generously illustrated with striking black-and-white photographs that bring the period to life.

Paperback. Etat : New. 'San Francisco has no single landmark by which the world may identify it,' according to "San Francisco in the 1930s," originally published in 1940. This would surely come as a surprise to the millions who know and love the Golden Gate Bridge or recognize the Transamerica Building's pyramid. This invaluable… Depression-era guide to San Francisco relates the city's history from the vantage point of the 1930s, describing its culture and highlighting the important tourist attractions of the time. David Kipen's lively introduction revisits the city's literary heritage - from Bret Harte to Kenneth Rexroth, Jade Snow Wong, and Allen Ginsberg - as well as its most famous landmarks and historic buildings. This rich and evocative volume, resonant with portraits of neighborhoods and districts, allows us a unique opportunity to travel back in time and savor the City by the Bay as it used to be.

Ajouter au panierHardcover. Etat : Fair. 3rd printing. (no dust jacket) [front hinge broken, although otherwise only modestly shelfworn; folding map is NOT present in rear pocket]. (American Guide Series) Series (B&W photographs, maps) Comprehensive guide to the history, culture, commerce and geography of California. Includes chapters on individ…ual cities and towns: Berkeley, Fresno, Hollywood, Long Beach, Los Angeles, Monterey, Oakland, Pasadena, Sacramento, San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose, Santa Barbara, Stockton. There are numerous prescribed "Tours," as was standard with this excellent series, including special tour sections devoted to Death Valley National Monument, Sequoia and General Grant National Parks, and Yosemite National Park, as well as to the Golden Gate International Exhibition -- although one does wonder, with wartime gasoline rationing in effect at the time of this printing, how many people were actually able to get out on the road and take advantage of this feature. Most of the photographs in the book are not credited to individual photographers, although Horace Bristol's name is attached to a few, and there is a single shot (of some anonymous and dunes) attributed to Bret Weston. Includes: chronology, a select reading list; index. The text appears to be identical to the first (1939) printing. ****NOTE that additional postage charges will be assessed for international shipping of this moderately heavy book; if this concerns you, please contact us for a shipping quote before placing your order. As always at ReadInk, domestic Media Mail shipping is free.****.
