"[A] gorgeously illustrated compendium."-SunsetThis lavishly
illustrated atlas takes readers off the beaten path and outside
normal conceptions of California, revealing its myriad ecologies,
topographies, and histories in exquisite maps and trail paintings.
Based on decades of exploring the backcountry of the Golden State,
artist-adventurer Obi Kaufmann blends science and art to illuminate
the multifaceted array of living, connected systems like no book
has done before. Kaufmann depicts layer after layer of the natural
world, delighting in the grand scale and details alike. The effect
is staggeringly beautiful: presented alongside California divvied
into its fifty-eight counties, for example, we consider California
made up of dancing tectonic plates, of watersheds, of wildflower
gardens. Maps are enhanced by spirited illustrations of wildlife,
keys that explain natural phenomena, and a clear-sighted but
reverential text. Full of character and color, a bit larger than
life, The California Field Atlas is the ultimate road trip
companion and love letter to a place.
