Rising Tides? --Notes --Bibliography --IndexSan Francisco Bay is the largest and most productive estuary on the Pacific Coast of North America. It is also home to the oldest and densest urban settlements in the American West. Focusing on human inhabitation of the Bay since Ohlone times, Down by the Bay reveals the ongoing role of nature in shaping that history. From birds to oyster pirates, from gold miners to farmers, from salt ponds to ports, this is the first history of the San Francisco Bay and Delta as both a human and natural landscape. It offers invaluable context for current discussions over the best management and use of the Bay in the face of sea level rise.Land useCaliforniaSan FranciscoHistoryLand useCaliforniaSan Francisco Bay AreaHistoryNatureEffect of human beings onCaliforniaSan FranciscoHistoryNatureEffect of human beings onCaliforniaSan Francisco Bay AreaHistoryHuman ecologyCaliforniaSan FranciscoHistoryHuman ecologyCaliforniaSan Francisco Bay AreaHistorySan Francisco (Calif.)HistorySan Francisco Bay Area (Calif.)HistorySan Francisco (Calif.)Environmental conditionsSan Francisco Bay Area (Calif.)Environmental conditionsElectronic books.Land useHistory.Land useHistory.NatureEffect of human beings onHistory.NatureEffect of human beings onHistory.Human ecologyHistory.Human ecologyHistory.979.4/61Booker Matthew Morse1968-1026781MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910463323803321Down by the bay2441884UNINA
