california & the west Marjorie G. Schmidt and Katherine L. Greenberg Growing California Native Plants, Second Edition With illustrations by Beth Merrick Expanded and Updated “For lovers of California’s native plants, this has been a must-have book for over thirty years and the new edition promises to reach an even larger audience. It remains a superb reference, combining ecological and horticultural notes; a treasure-trove of information for everyone interested in an authentic approach to beautiful and sustainable gardens in California.” Mike Evans, Founder and President, Tree of Life Native Nursery First published thirty years ago, the long-awaited second edition of Growing California Native Plants is the ideal hands-on native plant guide for both experienced and novice gardeners. In addition to the voluminous knowledge contributed by Marjorie G. Schmidt, now deceased, Katherine L. Greenberg has taken note of the vibrant state of today’s horticultural scene, adding plants and ideas that were little known when the book first appeared. Lavishly illustrated with 200 new color photographs, drawings, maps, and charts, this concise and easy-to-use reference covers trees, shrubs, perennials, annuals, bulbs, grasses, and vines, and includes a plant selection guide for quick reference. The authors, whose combined experience spans six decades, take California’s summer-dry climate and restricted water supplies into account and provide helpful notes on companion plants and gardening with wildlife. Practical and informative, Growing California Native Plants is a valuable reference for gardeners everywhere in California and an enjoyable book simply to explore. Marjorie G. Schmidt was a gardener and a writer for Fremontia, the journal of the California Native Plant Society. Katherine L. Greenberg, a gardener and designer with a special interest in California native plants, has served as president of the Friends of the Regional Parks Botanic Garden, the Mediterranean Garden Society, and Pacific Horticulture Society.

California & the west Laura Pulido, Laura Barraclough, and Wendy Cheng A People’s Guide to Los Angeles “Forget the stars’ map of Hollywood: this is the real trip through an LA history of militant strikers, civil rights activists and unforgettable feminists. A tour de force of imagination and memory.” Mike Davis, author of City of Quartz: Excavating the Future in Los Angeles A People’s Guide to Los Angeles offers an assortment of eye-opening alternatives to L.A.’s usual tourist destinations. It documents 115 little-known sites in the City of Angels where struggles related to race, class, gender, and sexuality have occured. They introduce us to people and events usually ignored by mainstream media and, in the process, create a fresh history of Los Angeles. Roughly dividing the city into six regions—North Los Angeles, the Eastside and San Gabriel Valley, South Los Angeles, Long Beach and the Harbor, the Westside, and the San Fernando Valley—this illuminating guide shows how power operates in the shaping of places, and how it remains embedded in the landscape. Laura Pulido is Professor of American Studies and Ethnicity at the University of Southern California. Among her books is Black, Brown, Yellow, and Left: Radical Activism in Los Angeles (UC Press). Laura Barraclough is Assistant Professor of Sociology at Kalamazoo College and the author of Making the San Fernando Valley: Rural Landscapes, Urban Development, and White Privilege. Wendy Cheng is Assistant Professor of Asian Pacific American Studies and Justice & Social Inquiry at Arizona State University.
