Considered the most complete and balanced treatment of California geography for nearly four decades, this popular text has recently been revised by Gary L. Peters to include new photos, maps, and statistical information - updating our knowledge of the state. Features new to the Fifth Edition: full-color CD-ROM enclosed in each book, which will allow students to see much of the California landscape that is discussed in the text; a new sidebar compares Mendota and Simi Valley - two very different towns.The new edition has maintained the regional approach and continues to incorporate all the best features of the previous edition. Not just a geography text alone, "California" touches on the history of people, places, and things. The text is up-to-date, written in a readable style, and full of useful maps and photos. It gives readers a very good impression of what life is like today in the state of California.
Outstanding features include: excellent maps of regions and major cities; full-color CD-ROM enclosed in each book; comprehensive discussions of all regions of the state of California; topical sidebars, including everything from basin and range landforms to viticulture; and a thorough index.
