Structured around the four major themes of ecology, labor, transit, and dissent, Chris Carlsson peels back the layers of the city's history to reveal a storied past: behind old walls and gleaming glass facades lurk former industries, secret music and poetry venues, forgotten terrorist bombings, and much more. Carlsson also delves into the Bay Area's long prehistory, examining the region's geography and the lives of its indigenous inhabitants before the 1849 Gold Rush changed everything. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This second edition includes new tours on the wild and natural parts of San Francisco that most tourists never visit, from Glen Canyon to Sutro Forest and a new themed walk on the Summer of Love.
