Review # 1 was written on 2012-08-30 00:00:00 Donald Overstake I loaned the edition I once owned and it was never returned to me! I have borrowed this updated edition from my local library so that I could read it again and pick up on the new chapters. Elna writes in such a way that not only are you able to visualize the area she is writing about but the amount of information packed into a paragraph provides a total experience of all the life and natural beauty of California. From the pacific ocean to the Sierra Nevada Mountains her descriptions include all that exists and is possible.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-01-17 00:00:00 Donny Parker California is one of the most fascinating states to explore. It is blessed with deserts, sea coasts, redwood forests and mountains. This book by Elna Bakker describes each ecological community in the state. I personally feel that every California high school student should be required to read this book prior to graduating!
