This Day in California History The fun of threading the detail of history together the way it is done in this book, with a significant event from California's history listed for every day of the year, is that much that might not find its way into a more traditionally written history can be brought into the sweep of the story. It also broadens the reader's view of just what history is, and exposes a wealth of information that is interesting in and of itself. Professor Kevin Starr of the University of Southern California, one of the world's leading authorities on California history, described Carl Palm's first book, The Great California Story, as an "eclectic, idiosyncratic, and always lively foray into the complexities of the California experience. This new book is in the same vein, adding new and fascinating detail to the author's ever-evolving vision of what California is all about.

Southern California Curiosities: Quirky Characters, Roadside Oddities, & Other Offbeat Stuff Southern California Curiosities is your round-trip ticket to the wildest, wackiest, most outrageous people, places, and things the lower half of the Golden State has to offer. Humorist and veteran journalist Saul Rubin has traveled way off Southern California's beaten path for one-of-a-kind gems that make his home turf truly unique. You'll meet the world's loudest finger snapper, a man who teaches etiquette to camels, and a couple who built a house that spins. You'll discover the best places to eat raisin-sweet-potato pie, drink a date shake, or sample strawberry nachos and pizza. You'll tour an egg collection, a house of trash, and a burlesque museum featuring Gypsy Rose Lee's glove collection, Sally Rand's ivory-handled fans, and costumes from the likes of Blaze Starr, Lili St. Cyr, and Chesty Morgan. Whether you were born and raised in Southern California or are a recent transplant, Saul Rubin's home-grown humor will have you laughing out loud as he introduces you to the neighbors you never knew you had and takes you to places you never knew existed - right in your own backyard.

Field Guide to Freshwater Fishes of California "A handy guide to the freshwater fishes of California designed for amateur naturalists and anglers. Alcorn's illustrations are excellent."--Peter Moyle, author of "Inland Fishes of California" "Freshwater Fishes of California contributes to the better understanding of the past and present history and biology of native and non-native freshwater fishes of California. It also provides practical information on how to sample, care for and/or utilize these fishes. Moreover, it reads like a good novel that piques your interest on fish natural history and identification. It should be of value to anglers, environmentalists concerned with protection of our aquatic habitats and resource, natural history buffs, and governmental biologists and administrators."--Theodore W. Wooster, Environmental Specialist, retired, California Department of Fish and Game"

Mammals of California "Much information has accumulated about California mammals in the past decade, making a second edition of Mammals of California both timely and valuable. The volume serves an important and singular niche, given the growth in knowledge about the critters presented, as well as the increasingly negative impact habitat change is having on them. The text will be readily understandable by the amateur yet not condescending to the professional."--James Patton, Professor of Zoology and Curator of Mammals, Museum of Vertebrate Zoology, University of California, Berkeley
