{"product_id":"silent-cities-san-francisco-jessica-ferri-9781493056460","title":"Silent Cities San Francisco: Hidden Histories of the Region's Cemeteries","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1914, desperate for land after the Gold Rush brought a population explosion to San Francisco, the city exiled its cemeteries, barring burials within city limits and relocating its existing graveyards to the tiny town of Colma, just south of Daly City, spawning America's only necropolis, where the dead outnumber the living 1000 to 1. But there's more to the story of the Bay Area's cemeteries than this expulsion. Silent Cities San Francisco reveals the complex cultural makeup of the Bay Area, where diversity and history collide, pitting the dead against the living in a race for space and memorialization.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jessica Ferri\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1493056468\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781493056460\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Globe Pequot Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.54h x 5.61w x 0.47d","brand":"Jessica Ferri","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44049449189631,"sku":"9781493056460","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c12245dd-3467-423d-a204-acf092542b2e.jpg?v=1685001560","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/silent-cities-san-francisco-jessica-ferri-9781493056460","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
