Californians: Searching for the Golden State

James D. Houston

4.9/5 (21624 ratings)

Description:California, the Land of Promise, where everything seems possible, the dreamer's paradise where Asian philosophy meets runaway technology, the place which has seized and held the imagination of the world since the days of the Gold Rush. James D. Houston traversed its length and breadth and documented the habitat of a dream. His initial curiosity to find out "what kind of place California is becoming" develops "into something much larger, and much more personal." This is a pilgrimage of passion, an investigation that discloses the raw truths of a misunderstood, fascinatingly diverse culture. Houston speaks to the wizard of the revolutionary Apple Computer Company, a wilderness preservationist, a radio talk-show host, politicians, a Chicano playwright, a tool-pusher on a Kern County oil rig, subsistence farmers, a geologist, a Hollywood screenwriter, a psychic. The range of personality, style and accomplishment is enormous. "James Houston knows," says Wallace Stegner, "that California is already shaping the future of America."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
