This educational and interactive picture book immerses the reader in the strange and interwoven lifecycles of a tropical fig tree in the rainforest, and the tiny insects and colorful creatures that call it home. Following the growth of a seed dropped into the canopy of a rainforest tree by a flying toucan, Something Wonderful teaches the interdependence of rainforest ecology in an easy-to-follow, captivating story. Flip the beautifully illustrated pages and experience the journey of the fig seedling making roots and leaves, growing strong, eventually replacing the giant tree that was its host, making figs, attracting pollinators, and developing its life-giving seeds.Something Wonderful happens next. The delectable fig fruit is hungrily eaten by a passing toucan who, upon flight, aimlessly drops a seed from its poop into the treetops below, beginning the fig's lifecycle once again. Discover additional scientific information about the pollination process, insects, and animals found in the story in an illustrated section at the end of the book. Readers can play a "seek and find" game of locating the elusive red-eyed tree frog on each page of the story. Take a journey, from the tiny to the grand, while making your way through the tropical rainforest on the path to uncover Something Wonderful...

San Luis Obispo was founded in 1772 as a mission in the foothills of the Santa Lucia Mountains on California's Central Coast. The city that grew from a rustic pueblo, with its scattering of adobe buildings, today has a wealth of architectural styles. From the simple barns of the outlying farm community, to the grand hotels and lively saloons kept busy by the Southern Pacific Railroad depot, and back full circle to the Mission Revival style edifices of California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo's architecture has echoed its history. Motor travel brought the world's first motel to this half-way point on California's historic Highway 101, and the famously zany tourist attraction, the Madonna Inn.

In the mid-1800s, fortune seekers from around the world flocked to California, but not all of them ended up in the gold fields. Many settled in San Luis Obispo County, drawn by the Mediterranean climate perfect for planting a familiar crop: grapevines. Local viticulture originated with the Spanish Missions, but it blossomed with the influx of intrepid adventurers. Growers and winemakers like Pierre Dallidet, an immigrant who helped save the French wine industry, and Henry Ditmas and James Anderson, who were the first to plant Zinfandel grapes, established vineyards and set about crafting award-winning wine in the fertile soil of Central California. Join the experts at the Wine History Project of San Luis Obispo County as they share the unique stories of these legendary winemakers.

For a little village, a lot has happened in Cambria. It's on the road to Hearst Castle and the most scenic stretch of Highway 1, where you can see zebras roaming beside the freeway and elephant seals lounging in the sun. But it's also a destination in its own right, where a rare stand of Monterey pines meets the sea, and where dozens of lively shops and galleries lie nestled at the base of the green Santa Lucia foothills. Former Cambrian editor Stephen H. Provost takes you on a journey through the 20th century in Cambria, one of California's favorite places to relax, retire, and sometimes have a lively debate. Cambria Century is part of his Century Cities series, which he created to celebrate and preserve the history of midsized and smaller American cities from 1900 to 1999. It contains a wealth of anecdotes, some 150 contemporary and historic images, and details of familiar stories you thought you knew, all in an easy-to-read timeline format. Find out about the quicksilver mines and old saloons that made Cambria part of the wild, wild West. Learn about rodeos of the past and the birth of Pinedorado, Cambria's annual Labor Day weekend celebration. Visit San Simeon, at the doorstep to Hearst Castle, and Harmony, the town that's had 18 residents for as long as anyone can remember. Did you know Cambria once had its own movie house and (despite an aversion to national chains), a tiny park on Main Street, and an A&W drive-in? Cambria Century will take you to William Randolph Hearst's castle and Art Beal's anti-castle overlooking the West Village. You'll return to the Toy Soldier Factory, the Pewter Plough Playhouse, the Chuck Wagon, Exotic Gardens, Lyons' Red & White store, Comozzi's, the Rigdon Building, Bank of America, and the Bluebird Inn. And that's just the beginning. The pioneer years of the 19th century boom and recent developments in the new millennium hold many tales of their own. Cambria Century tells the story of what happened in between.
