Book Introduction to California Chaparral

Download or read book Introduction to California Chaparral written by Ronald D. Quinn and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2006-09-20 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The characteristic look of California Chaparral—a soft bluish-green blanket of vegetation gently covering the hills—is known to millions who have seen it as the backdrop in movies and television productions. This complex ecological community of plants and animals is not just a feature of the hills around Hollywood, but is a quintessential part of the entire California landscape. It is a highly resilient community adapted to life with recurring fires and droughts. Written for a wide audience, this concise, engaging, and beautifully illustrated book describes an ancient and exquisitely balanced environment home to wondrous organisms: Fire Beetles that mate only on burning branches, lizards that shoot blood from their eyes when threatened, Kangaroo Rats that never drink water, and seeds that germinate only after a fire, even if that means waiting in the soil for a 100 years or more. Useful both as a field guide and an introductory overview of the ecology of chaparral, it also provides a better understanding of how we might live in harmony, safety, and appreciation of this unique ecological community. * Identifies chaparral’s common plants, animals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and insects * Features 79 color illustrations, 56 black-and-white photographs, and 3 maps * Examines the role of humans and fire in chaparral, covering the placement and design of homes, landscaping, and public policy

Cuchara is nestled in the magnificent Sangre de Cristo mountains on Highway 12 (the Highway of Legends) between LaVeta and Trinidad. It is the story of a journey; a journey that requires the main characters, Lane Curry and his son Steve, to face the family past before they can find their future. That past is ripe with tragedy and mystery. Lane lost his wife in a tragic accident. Both Steve and Lane are struggling in their separate ways to deal with the loss of the woman who was the center of their lives. Neither of them is able to share his feelings, hence they both suffer in silence. It takes a life-and-death search and rescue mission deep in the high country to shatter the silence but the price proves to be very high. Lane ́s world is turned upside down when he meets Mary, a divorced artist who is also running from her past. They struggle with their emotions as their mutual attraction grows. When Lane discovers that his grandfather, Sven Curry, mysteriously disappeared almost 100 years ago and possible suffered a violent death, he embarks on a mission of discovery. The mystery becomes deeper and darker when Lane uncovers a long-lost letter written to Sven just before his disappearance. A simple inquiry about the letter triggers a chain of events that threatens to tear the Curry ́s future apart. With the help of a private investigator Lane teeters on the precipice of breaking the law as they uncover the family ́s secret. Steve ́s imagination is fired by the stories about Sven ́s disappearance and the talk of lost gold. He and his big dog, Sampson, hike to Chaparral Falls, Sven ́s last reported location. There Steve and Sampson encounter a snarling horrific nightmare. They may have found the key to Sven ́s mystery but will it be worth the price?
