Fradkin, one of California's most acclaimed environmental historians, felt drawn to the coast as soon as he arrived in California in 1960. His first book, California: The Golden Coast, captured the wonder of the shoreline's natural beauty along with the controversies it engendered. In The Left Coast, the author and his photographer son Alex Fradkin revisit some of the same places they explored together in the early 1970's. From their written and visual approaches, this father-son team brings a unique generational perspective to the subject. Mixing history, geography, interviews, personal experiences, and photographs, they find a wealth of stories and memorable sights in the multiplicity of landscapes, defined by them as the Wild, Agricultural, Residential, Tourist, Recreational, Industrial, Military, and Political coasts. Alex Fradkin's expressive photographs add a layer of meaning, enriching the subject with their distinctive eloquence while bringing a visual dimension to his father's words. In this way, the book becomes the story of a close relationship within a probing study of a varied and contested coastline. 606 $aCoasts$zCalifornia 606 $aNatural history$zCalifornia 607 $aCalifornia$xDescription and travel 607 $aCalifornia$xHistory 615 0$aCoasts 615 0$aNatural history 676 $a979.4 700 $aFradkin$b Philip L$01701861 701 $aFradkin$b Alex$g(Alex Leon),$f1966-$01701862 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812120803321 996 $aThe left coast$94085912 997 $aUNINA
