The state also has a unique endemic flora and rich botanical history from both the Indigenous people's \"protoagriculture\" and plant introductions that continue to this day. For many people, however, the concept of landscape is associated with gardens, especially estate gardens. Yet landscape design reaches far beyond the elite circles of private estates; \u003ci\u003eCalifornia Eden: Heritage Landscapes of the Golden State\u003c\/i\u003e showcases a wide range of landscapes from the professional to the vernacular through exceptional essays by distinguished landscape historians. Entries highlight famous and beloved estate gardens but also more frequently overlooked landscapes such as shopping malls, streetscapes, sports venues, and vernacular sites. From a military installation on the California-Mexico border to the campus of Stanford University and the Japanese American gardens of San Diego, the essays speak to design as well as the challenges of historic preservation of these-often ephemeral places. As elegant as it is informative, \u003ci\u003eCalifornia Eden\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential book for anyone who is passionate about plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christine Edstrom O'Hara, Susan Chamberlin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1626401152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781626401150\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Angel City Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/11\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Christine Edstrom O'Hara","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44181463728383,"sku":"9781626401150","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bbf5dcb6-19c0-4f41-a144-a11ba837d62f.jpg?v=1690260593","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/california-eden-christine-ohara-9781626401150","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
