American Green: Class, Crisis and the Deployment of Nature in Central Park, Yosemite and Yellowstone
What this book needed was more narrative. What it is a collection of captioned historical photographs--which may be fine for local citizens of Arcata and its associated history buffs, but for anyone else, the photos lack context. I myself will be visiting the area soon and was hoping the book would give me an outline of its history and background, but I'll have to look elsewhere for that. Once I visit Arcata, I may find the book more relevant as I will then be able to use it to make a "then vs. now" visual comparison.
