Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Call of California: And Other Poems of the West From your Missions, old and gray, At the crimson close of day I can hear the bells a-ringing, soft and low; While the gay guitar of Spain Lends a plaintive, sweet refrain From the dim, romantic days of long ago, - Long ago, long ago, long ago, From the Padres and the Dons of long ago. From Sierras, thunder-riven, Shadowy peaks arise to heaven - Hooded saints, whose names are benedicite; From the canon's purple rim Downward rolls their matin hymn Over golden-fruited valleys to the sea; To the murm'ring pines beside the shining sea. Till it mingles with the music of the sea. In this sunny land of mine, With its honey, oil and wine, And its poppy fields aflame with living gold; In this Eden of the earth God is bringing to the birth Greater wonders than He wrought in days of old; In the bold days of old, the days of gold, Than He fashioned through the Argonauts of old.

Download or read book The West without Water written by B. Lynn Ingram and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2013-08-01 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The West without Water documents the tumultuous climate of the American West over twenty millennia, with tales of past droughts and deluges and predictions about the impacts of future climate change on water resources. Looking at the region’s current water crisis from the perspective of its climate history, the authors ask the central question of what is "normal" climate for the West, and whether the relatively benign climate of the past century will continue into the future. The West without Water merges climate and paleoclimate research from a wide variety of sources as it introduces readers to key discoveries in cracking the secrets of the region’s climatic past. It demonstrates that extended droughts and catastrophic floods have plagued the West with regularity over the past two millennia and recounts the most disastrous flood in the history of California and the West, which occurred in 1861–62. The authors show that, while the West may have temporarily buffered itself from such harsh climatic swings by creating artificial environments and human landscapes, our modern civilization may be ill-prepared for the future climate changes that are predicted to beset the region. They warn that it is time to face the realities of the past and prepare for a future in which fresh water may be less reliable.

Download or read book Blue Sky Metropolis written by Peter J. Westwick and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2012-06-04 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Like citrus, oil, movies, radio, and television, aerospace helped create Southern California and embody its values. Blue Sky Metropolis launches an entirely fresh consideration of an iconic industry that answered the immemorial hunger of the human race for flight and the future."--Kevin Starr, University of Southern California "Blue Sky Metropolis presents an intriguing survey of a unique time in Southern California history, when cheap land and benign weather lured massive aerospace enterprises to the region—eventually serving as home to nearly half of the nation’s defense and space fabricators. Before there was a Silicon Valley, high-tech dreamers were on the loose in the Southland, creating inventions as diverse as the Voyager planetary spacecraft and the Stealth bomber. These highly readable essays help us understand how it happened—how Southern California shaped aerospace, and vice versa."—Charles Elachi, Director, Jet Propulsion Laboratory "Peter Westwick has assembled a rich collection of essays that tell a wonderful story about the importance of the aerospace industry to Southern California and the importance of Southern California to the aerospace industry. There's technology, sociology, economics, geography, anthropology, and much more woven through the chapters. It's an ambitious project, but it succeeds in being interesting, informative, and entertaining."—Michael Rich, President and CEO, The RAND Corporation
Download or read book Geographical Memoir Upon Upper California Classic Reprint written by John Charles Fremont and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-05 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Geographical Memoir Upon Upper California Gentlemen, - The letters received by the Clyde, purporting to be written from California, and which represent that country in a state of the utmost anarchy and con fiision, were evidently penned for some sinister or mischievous purpose. These letters state that General Smith had been forced by a mob to take refuge on board a man-of war. The General, when I left Monterey, was living on board the flag ship Ohio; but he was there not to escape popular violence, but simply and solely because he could not, at the time, procure suitable quarters on shore. These letters also state that the life of 001. Mason was in jeopardy, on account of some obnoxious measures which he had adopted, when the truth is, Col. Mason is now in New York. It must be a long arm that can stretch from California to our Atlantic board. There are two classes of persons at San Francisco; the one is the permanent citi zens, the other is the gold-diggers. The citizens have every thing at issue, in repress ing tumult and disorder; and the gold-diggers are on their way to the mines, and are in as much haste as a bridegroom bound to the nuptial altar, or a doctor to his first cholera patient. They have no time and no motive for getting up a mob it cannot supply them with mules or shorten the distance to the mines; and they have no preja dices to gratify, unless a man can hate what he has never seen, and find it in his nature to salute a stranger by knocking him down, and that too with golden visions dancing through his dreams.
