Download or read book Lake Tahoe written by Thomas Bachand and published by Chronicle Books. This book was released on 2008-04-02 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas Bachand's stunning photographs of Lake Tahoe capture the sublime beauty of this beloved natural wonder while also illustrating its fragility. Bachand has been making photographs of the lake and its environs for more than ten years, creating images that possess a timeless vocabulary of water, rock, and sky. Bachaund's images also depict the transition that the lake and its surrounding are undergoing due to tourism and development. These two sides of Bachand's work - presented here for the first time - reflect the delicate balance that exists between conservation and growth in the region. An introduction by Dr. Charles R. Goldman, founder and director of the Tahoe Research Group at UC Davis, addresses how factors as diverse as development and global climate change threaten Lake Tahoe's legendary clear blue waters. In addition, excerpts from Mark Twain's seminal volume Roughing It remind us of the lake's awe-inspiring grandeur as it appeared more than a century ago. Lake Tahoe: A Fragile Beauty celebrates the natural splendor of a region that is also a key arena for many of the salient environmental issues facing our time. Bachand's exploration of Tahoe's singular loveliness, rich history, and universal challenges conveys the area's extraordinary character, and our need to understand and care for this unique jewel. -- from dust jacket.

Book excerpt: This long-anticipated reference and sourcebook for CaliforniaÕs remarkable ecological abundance provides an integrated assessment of each major ecosystem typeÑits distribution, structure, function, and management. A comprehensive synthesis of our knowledge about this biologically diverse state, Ecosystems of California covers the state from oceans to mountaintops using multiple lenses: past and present, flora and fauna, aquatic and terrestrial, natural and managed. Each chapter evaluates natural processes for a specific ecosystem, describes drivers of change, and discusses how that ecosystem may be altered in the future. This book also explores the drivers of CaliforniaÕs ecological patterns and the history of the stateÕs various ecosystems, outlining how the challenges of climate change and invasive species and opportunities for regulation and stewardship could potentially affect the stateÕs ecosystems. The text explicitly incorporates both human impacts and conservation and restoration efforts and shows how ecosystems support human well-being. Edited by two esteemed ecosystem ecologists and with overviews by leading experts on each ecosystem, this definitive work will be indispensable for natural resource management and conservation professionals as well as for undergraduate or graduate students of CaliforniaÕs environment and curious naturalists.
