Readers-be they naturalists or armchair explorers-will find themselves transported to California's many wild places in the company of forty noted writers whose works span more than a century. Divided into sections on California's mountains, hills and valleys, deserts, coast, and elements (earth, wind, and fire), the book contains essays, diary entries, and excerpts from larger works, including fiction. As a prelude to the collection, editor Steven Gilbar presents two California Indian creation myths, one a Cahto narrative and the other an A-juma-wi story as told by Darryl Babe Wilson. Familiar names appear in these pages-John Muir, Robert Louis Stevenson, John McPhee, M.F.K. Fisher, Gretel Ehrlich-but less familiar writers such as Daniel Duane, Margaret Millar, and John McKinney are also included. Among the gems in this treasure trove are Jack Kerouac on climbing Mt. Matterhorn, Barry Lopez on snow geese migration at Tule Lake, Edward Abbey on Death Valley, Henry Miller on Big Sur, and Joan Didion on the Santa Ana winds. Gary Snyder's inspiring Afterword reflects the spirit of environmentalism that runs throughout the book. Natural State also reveals the many changes to California's landscape that have occurred in geological time and in human terms. More than a book of "nature writing," this book is superb writing about nature. 606 $aNatural history$zCalifornia 606 $aNature 610 $aamerican history. 610 $aanthology. 610 $abig sur. 610 $acalifornia. 610 $aclimbing. 610 $acoastal. 610 $acontinental drift. 610 $adesert. 610 $ageography. 610 $agrand canyon. 610 $ahunting. 610 $aliterary anthology. 610 $amatterhorn. 610 $amother nature. 610 $amountain climbing. 610 $amountains. 610 $anational parks. 610 $anatural world. 610 $anature writing. 610 $anature. 610 $arock climbing. 610 $asanta ana. 610 $asanta rosa. 610 $ashort story collection. 610 $aunited states history. 610 $aus history. 610 $awest coast. 610 $awestern united states. 610 $awestern us. 610 $ayosemite. 615 0$aNatural history 615 0$aNature. 676 $a508.794 701 $aGilbar$b Steven$01536720 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785979703321 996 $aNatural state$93785621 997 $aUNINA
