The first book of a major new trilogy from artist-naturalist Obi
Kaufmann From the author of The California Field Atlas (#1 San
Francisco Chronicle Best Seller) comes a major work that not only
guides readers through the Golden State's forested lands, but also
presents a profoundly original vision of nature in the twenty-first
century. The Forests of California features an abundance of Obi
Kaufmann's signature watercolor maps and trail paintings, weaving
them into an expansive and accessible exploration of the
biodiversity that defines California in the global imagination.
Expanding on the style of the Field Atlas, Kaufmann tells an epic
story that spans millions of years, nearly one hundred species of
trees, and an astonishing richness of ecosystems. The Forests of
California is the first volume in a planned trilogy of field
atlases, with The Coasts of California and The Deserts of
California to follow, and Kaufmann seeks to create nothing less
than a new understanding of the more-than-human world. The lessons
in this book extend well beyond California's borders. If Peter
Wohlleben's The Hidden Life of Trees and Richard Powers's The
Overstory opened readers' eyes to the awesome power of arboreal
life, The Forests of California gives readers a unique and
unprecedented immersion in that power.
