Coastal California
An unprecedented book showcasing the California coast via the Pacific Coast Highway and beyond. As America stands to the rest of the world, so stands California to America—a shining promise of endless possibility. California is both dream and reality. Coastal California is for anyone who has felt the lure of a Pacific sunset. From the physical beauty of Monterey to the grandeur of Southern California, photographer Jake Rajs displays his skillful command of capturing the coastline and Pacific Ocean in every season and the land that is affected by it. Including such locations as Redwood National Park, Point Reyes National Seashore, Sausalito, Huntington Beach, Long Beach, and Pacific Palisades, Coastal California is sure to be the gift book of the year for those who feel the rush of the Pacific Coast Highway and those who just dream of it.
The Pacific Coast
"The Pacific coast is not just a land beside the sea, it is a land literally of the sea, entwined and cradled by innumerable salt-water straits and fiords; the marine influence is stamped boldly on almost every feature. Despite the fact that it is physically joined to a massive continent, this coastal region stands alone, like an island, with its own distinctive natural history and a scenic grandeur that neighboring regions do not share. An area such as this with its own characteristic plant and animal life is known as biome or biotic region, and as biotic regions go, this is one of the continent's smallest. It is, however, sharply differentiated, a land apart, a land with only weak ties to the continent of which it is part, but deep and pervading ties with the restless, embracing sea."- Publisher.

Builders of the Pacific Coast
"In 2004, Lloyd Kahn discovered a group of unique carpenters along the Pacific Coast of North America. Over a two-year period, he made four trips north from his home in the San Francisco Bay Area, up the coast, shooting the photos that appear in this book." "To preserve homeowners' privacy, specific locations are not given, but suffice to say this book focuses on the Pacific Coast north from San Francisco up to and around Vancouver Island, British Columbia, latitudes 37 to 49 degrees." "There's been a vortex of creative carpentry energy in this part of the world over the last 30 years. Many of the builders shown here got started in the countercultural era of the '60s and '70s, and their work has never been shown in books or magazine articles."--BOOK JACKET.
