Calling California a state is like calling Los Angeles a village. Both are much larger, more diverse, and more interesting than the name implies. In California, you can visít the lowest (Death Valley) and the highest (Mount Whitney) places in the lower 48. But that is only the beginning of the Golden State's incredible variety. The people, plants, and animals found inside the state's borders are as varied and interesting as the landscape. California is known throughout the world as a land where dreams can come true, and it inspires the passión and imagination of all who experience its magic. It is truly a land unto itself. California on My Mind is a grand tour of the huge, fascinating land called California, bringing you the many faces and moods of its people, its mountains, it cities, its deserts, its farms and ranches, its beaches, and its wildlife in stunning color images. You'll find quiet places. In the Mojave Desert, you can lie on your back, stare at the starry sky, and feel like you're the last person on earth. In the Sierra-Nevadas, you can thrill to the view from the erest of a snow-eovered mountain. Turn the page, and you'll find yourself in the world's most exeiting, sophisticated, and interesting cities. Los Angeles is glitter and lights and freeways and people on the move. San Francisco is charm and foghorns and bridges and cable cars. San Diego, Sacramento, and others are here too-all the places where people gather to live, work, and play in that unique California way. And then there's the places in between-the romantic wine country, the rocky northern coast, the fertile central valley, the historic mining region, and the famous California beaches. California's wonders inspire many of the country's top photographers, and the best of their work is here. All of the photos are beautiful-because California is a beautiful place. But each image alsó shows something more-the true essence, the spirit, the magic of California. Others express feelings about this magic place through words. Collected here are scores of quotes from California residents and visitors. John Muir, John Steinbeck, Roger Tory Peterson, Mary Austin, Theodore Roosevelt, Jack Kerouac,. and many others articulate this land that often seems indescribable. Whether you're a longtime California resident, a frequent visitor, or someone who simply enjoys beautiful places, California on My Mind is the perfect way to remember a special place and dream of California days to come.
