Description
“Invites paddling around until you discover something fascinating, which you do, often. And of
course, there are the illustrations. Kaufmannâ€s watercolors shimmer with delicacy and
drama.―—Peter Fish, San Francisco Chronicle“Obi Kaufmann dives fearlessly and joyfully
into the maelstrom that is The State of Water in California. Luscious illustrations reveal that joy,
accompanied by text that faces historic challenges and a troubled future head on. This is not a
book with a political agenda, other than 'to point out our agreements over our differences,' yet
Kaufmann's concern for moral integrity points toward better ways we might compete for out limited
water resource. With words and images the book affirms that 'water is life.' Let's lift a glass of the
precious stuff to the hope that every Californian will read The State of Water.―—David Carle,
author of Introduction to Water in California and Water and the California Dream“Equal parts
pragmatism and whimsy, this exploration of water in California by the artist-naturalist Obi Kaufman
is a delight from start to finish. A kind of scientific wonder cabinet, this splendidly illustrated
reference manual has something for anyone interested in water in the Golden State. From
sturgeon and river otters to vernal pools and diversion dams, The State of Water offers fresh new
ways of thinking about California's waterscape that replenish and revitalize the groundwater of our
aquatic imagination.―—Michael Kowalewski, Lloyd McBride Professor of English &
Environmental Studies, Carleton College Read more Growing up in the East Bay as the son of an
astrophysicist and a psychologist, Obi Kaufmann spent most of high school practicing calculus and
breaking away on weekends to scramble around Mount Diablo and map its creeks, oak forests,
and sage mazes. Into adulthood, he would regularly journey into the mountains, spending more
summer nights without a roof than with one. For Kaufmann, the epic narrative of the California
backcountry holds enough art, science, mythology, and language for a hundred field atlases to
come. When he is not backpacking, you can find the painter-poet at his desk in Oakland, posting
@coyotethunder #trailpaintings on social media. Read more
