The Port of Los Angeles has served its region for a century, not just by bringing ships and their cargo to Southern California, but by establishing Los Angeles as a major presence on the international maritime scene. Because of its Port, Los Angeles is the key that has opened North America to the Pacific Rim and brought the world closer together. With more than 275 images and in-depth research, Port of Los Angeles explores the history not just of the Port, but of the development of Los Angeles, from pueblo to metropolis. For everyone who loves a compelling tale illustrated with vintage images, many never before published, Port of Los Angeles is a must-have volume. With a Foreword by Geraldine Knatz, Ph.D., Executive Director of the Port, Port of Los Angeles captures an era and shows how a harbor shapes the future of a city, a country and the world.

Sleeping Giant is a thoughtful and robust narrative of the inland region of Southern California's transition from a wild desert wilderness held together by nothing much more than Indians, sagebrush, and adobes, to the vibrant economic and industrial engine that it is today. Its pages contain a reservoir of stories of the early years and include more than a history of the waning days of the Wild West. It traces the monumental transformation of the area in its passage through times of pioneer settlement, the dawn of an agrarian age, development of railroads and industry, as well as the founding of villages that would become pulsating communities bulging with a population of millions. Lavishly illustrated with vintage photographs, Sleeping Giant heralds an ever-promising future for the people of the Inland Empire.

In Material Dreams, Starr turns to one of the most vibrant decades in the Golden State's history, the 1920s, when some two million Americans migrated to California, the vast majority settling in or around Los Angeles. Although he treats readers to intriguing side trips to Santa Barbara and Pasadena, Starr focuses here mainly on Los Angeles, revealing how this major city arose almost defiantly on a site lacking many of the advantages required for urban development, creating itself out of sheer will, the Great Gatsby of American cities. He describes how William Ellsworth Smyth, the Peter the Hermit of the Irrigation Crusade, propounded the importance of water in Southern California's future, and how such figures as the self-educated, Irish engineer William Mulholland (who built the main aquaducts to Los Angeles) and George Chaffey (who diverted the Colorado River, transforming desert into the lush Imperial Valley) brought life-supporting water to the arid South. He examines the discovery of oil ("Yes it's oil, oil, oil / that makes LA boil," went the official drinking song of the Uplifters Club), the boosters and land developers, the evangelists (such as Bob Shuler, the Methodist Savanarola of Los Angeles, and Aimee Semple McPherson), and countless other colorful figures of the period. There are also fascinating sections on the city's architecture (such as the remarkably innovative Bradbury Building and its eccentric, neophyte designer, George Wyman), the impact of the automobile on city planning, the great antiquarian book collections, the Hollywood film community, and much more. By the end of the decade, Los Angeles had tripled in population and become the fifth largest city in the nation. In Material Dreams, Kevin Starr captures this explosive growth in a narrative tour de force that combines wide-ranging scholarship with captivating prose.
