What did now-familiar places look like during prior centuries? What can the past teach us about designing future landscapes? The Napa Valley Historical Ecology Atlas explores these questions by taking readers on a dazzling visual tour of Napa Valley from the early 1800's onward-a forgotten land of brilliant wildflower fields, lush wetlands, and grand oak savannas. Robin Grossinger weaves together rarely-seen historical maps, traveler's accounts, photographs, and paintings to reconstruct early Napa Valley and document its physical transformation over the past two centuries. The Atlas provides a fascinating new perspective on this iconic landscape, showing the natural heritage that has enabled the agricultural success of the region today. The innovative research of Grossinger and his historical ecology team allows us to visualize the past in unprecedented detail, improving our understanding of the living landscapes we inhabit and suggesting strategies to increase their health and resilience in the future. 606 $aLandscape changes$zCalifornia$zNapa Valley$vMaps 606 $aLandscapes$zCalifornia$zNapa Valley$xHistory$vMaps 606 $aEcology$zCalifornia$zNapa Valley$xHistory$vMaps 606 $aNatural history$zCalifornia$zNapa Valley$vMaps 606 $aPhysical geography$zCalifornia$zNapa Valley$xHistory$vMaps 610 $aamerican ecology. 610 $aamerican history. 610 $aamerican maps. 610 $abooks for californians. 610 $acalifornia agriculture. 610 $acalifornia and wine. 610 $acalifornia environment. 610 $acalifornia historical maps. 610 $acalifornia history. 610 $acalifornia landscape. 610 $acalifornia travel. 610 $acalifornia wetlands. 610 $acalifornia wildflowers. 610 $aenvironment conservation. 610 $aenvironment protection. 610 $aexploring california. 610 $agoing green. 610 $agreat american outdoors. 610 $ahistorical ecology. 610 $ahistory of napa valley. 610 $alandscapes. 610 $anorcal books. 610 $awest coast ecology. 610 $awest coast landscape. 615 0$aLandscape changes 615 0$aLandscapes$xHistory 615 0$aEcology$xHistory 615 0$aNatural history 615 0$aPhysical geography$xHistory 676 $a577.09794/190223 700 $aGrossinger$b Robin$f1969-$01650294 701 $aAskevold$b Ruth$01650295 701 $aBeagle$b Julie$01650296 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824327103321 996 $aNapa valley historical ecology atlas$93999596 997 $aUNINA
