This book was released on 1988-02-25 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did the Sierra Nevada and adjacent lands come to be the size and shape they are today? This book covers 400 million years of physical evolution in a language understandable to nonscientists, tracing the volcanic activity, the folding and building of mountains, the breaking of blocks along fault lines, and the work of erosion and glaciers that have created today's dramatic landscape. Cordell Durrell spent a lifetime reading this complex story of movement and change in the rocks of the Feather River country. He shares with readers the excitement of discovering by remote but careful inference what must have happened millions upon millions of years ago. The basic methods of geologic analysis that Durrell describes can be applied anywhere on the earth's surface, lending new fascination to our travels throughout the frozen arctic, dry deserts, tropical rainforests, low swamps, and high mountains like California's magnificent Sierra.

Download or read book Upstream written by Beth Rose Middleton Manning and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2018-10-02 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara lands in South Dakota; to Cherokee lands in Tennessee; to Sin-Aikst, Lakes, and Colville lands in Washington; to Chemehuevi lands in Arizona; to Maidu, Pit River, and Wintu lands in northern California, Native lands and communities have been treated as sacrifice zones for national priorities of irrigation, flood control, and hydroelectric development. Upstream documents the significance of the Allotment Era to a long and ongoing history of cultural and community disruption. It also details Indigenous resistance to both hydropower and disruptive conservation efforts. With a focus on northeastern California, this book highlights points of intervention to increase justice for Indigenous peoples in contemporary natural resource policy making. Author Beth Rose Middleton Manning relates the history behind the nation’s largest state-built water and power conveyance system, California’s State Water Project, with a focus on Indigenous resistance and activism. She illustrates how Indigenous history should inform contemporary conservation measures and reveals institutionalized injustices in natural resource planning and the persistent need for advocacy for Indigenous restitution and recognition. Upstream uses a multidisciplinary and multitemporal approach, weaving together compelling stories with a study of placemaking and land development. It offers a vision of policy reform that will lead to improved Indigenous futures at sites of Indigenous land and water divestiture around the nation.

Book excerpt: Over a number of years in the 1960s, anthropologist Don Jewell got to know the Concow elders, accompanying them on foot or by automobile through a landscape that for them was pregnant with meaning. He listened to and taped the stories they told and the tribal wisdom they shared, and has now compiled a book that will have equal appeal for scholars and laymen alike. The elder s stories are now especially valuable as preserved oral history of the Native American view of California s mid-nineteenth century past, which is well documented as far as the Euro-American and pioneer s side goes. Jewell s account of the Maidu is proving popular for classroom use and for sales to the general public and was rated highly by the Los Angeles Unified School District, which evaluates textbooks relative to American Indian content.
