Dear Colleagues
I’m pleased to send you the latest edition of our quarterly library newsletter. This issue carries an
update on our move to the JSTOR platform, and to JSTOR’s ordering and fulfillment
department. Please take a moment to see how these developments will affect your subscriptions,
renewals and online access. If there’s anything that we’ve left out, please drop me a line at
rachel.lee@ucpress.edu and we’ll answer your question as soon as possible.
Other things to note: we’ve released new pricing for the period July 2010-June 2011 and there
are a couple of changes to our journals BioScience, which is increasing in frequency, and
Contexts, which will be moving away from UC Press at the end of the year.
Finally, we are proud to announce the Table of Contents from our inaugural issue of Boom: A
Journal of California, and an excellent collection of topic-based articles from BioScience, with
each issue focusing on a particular theme.
As always, I welcome your comments and suggestions, please feel free to contact me at
library@ucpress.edu.
Best Wishes,
Rachel Lee

California Crackup
How Reform Broke the Golden State and How We Can Fix It
Joe Mathews and Mark Paul

Paperback, 240 pages, ISBN: 9780520266568, August 2010, $19.95, £13.95
Hardcover, 240 pages, ISBN: 9780520268524, August 2010, $50.00, £34.95
Is California beyond repair? A sizable number of Golden State citizens have concluded that it is.
Incessant budget crises plus a government paralyzed by partisan gridlock have led to demands
for reform, even a constitutional convention. But what, exactly, is wrong and how can we fix it?
In California Crackup, Joe Mathews and Mark Paul provide clear and informed answers. Their
fast-paced and often humorous narrative deftly exposes the constitutional origins of our current
political and economic problems and furnishes a uniquely California fix: innovative solutions
that allow Californians to debate their choices, settle on the best ones, hold elected officials
accountable for results, and choose anew if something doesn’t work.
