Introduction to Air in California
by David Carle, Retired CSPRA Member
view
information online
What is air? Why is the sky blue? Why do people react favorably
to mountain or sea air? How does desert air differ from the air
of California's Central Valley? How is air pollution affecting
plants and animals? This book is a unique guide to the air we
breathe in California. More than a natural history guide, it
approaches this fascinating topic by recognizing the overwhelming
role played by humans in the story of California's air. In a
highly engaging style, David Carle explains daily weather patterns,
seasonal climate, characteristic winds, and sky phenomena. He
explores air as the gases in our atmosphere, but also considers
the aspects of air that influence all of our senses--its taste,
smell, feel, and look.

Nature Noir: A Park Ranger's Patrol in the Sierra
by Jordan Fisher Smith
"This is a walk in the woods like Thoreau never imagined.
I can't make up my mind whether Jordan Fisher Smith is John Muir
at the crime scene or Elmore Leonard with a backpack. In any
event, this astonishing book, with its brilliant interweaving
of murder, irony and natural history, invents a new genre."
