Inside the California Food Revolution by Joyce Goldstein Pdf

In this authoritative and immensely readable insider’s account, celebrated cookbook author and former chef Joyce Goldstein traces the development of California cuisine from its formative years in the 1970s to 2000, when farm-to-table, foraging, and fusion cooking had become part of the national vocabulary. Interviews with almost two hundred chefs, purveyors, artisans, winemakers, and food writers bring to life an approach to cooking grounded in passion, bold innovation, and a dedication to "flavor first." Goldstein explains how the counterculture movement in the West gave rise to a restaurant culture characterized by open kitchens, women in leadership positions, and a surprising number of chefs and artisanal food producers who lacked formal training. The new cuisine challenged the conventional kitchen hierarchy and French dominance in fine dining, leading to a more egalitarian and informal food scene. In weaving Goldstein’s views on California food culture with profiles of those who played a part in its development—from Alice Waters to Bill Niman to Wolfgang Puck—Inside the California Food Revolution demonstrates that, while fresh produce and locally sourced ingredients are iconic in California, what transforms these elements into a unique cuisine is a distinctly Western culture of openness, creativity, and collaboration. Engagingly written and full of captivating anecdotes, this book shows how the inspirations that emerged in California went on to transform the experience of eating throughout the United States and the world.

Sixty Years in Southern California 1853-1913 Containing the Reminiscences of Harris Newmark by Harris Newmark Pdf

Harris Newmark (1834-1916), son of a modest Prussian Jewish merchant, sailed to America in 1853 to join his older brother in Los Angeles. He made a fortune in real estate, the wholesale grocery business, and hides and wools, becoming a leader in the local Jewish community and the city at large. Sixty years in Southern California (1916) begins with his description of Los Angeles as he found it; judges and lawyers, merchants and shops, churches and other landmarks. In the chapters that follow, Newmark organizes his materials chronologically and outlines his various mercantile partnerships and traces changing patterns of social life in Los Angeles, political factions, railroad construction in southern California, crime and vigilantism, the Chinese Massacre of 1871, and real estate speculations. In a more personal vein, he chronicles Jewish family life and philantropy.

The Gulf of California by Richard C. Brusca Pdf

Few places in the world can claim such a diversity of species as the Gulf of California (Sea of Cortez), with its 6,000 recorded animal species estimated to be half the number actually living in its waters. So rich are the Gulf's water that over a half-million tons of seafood are taken from them annually—and this figure does not count the wasted by-catch, which would triple or quadruple that tonnage. This timely book provides a benchmark for understanding the Gulf's extraordinary diversity, how it is threatened, and in what ways it is—or should be—protected. In spite of its dazzling richness, most of the Gulf's coastline now harbors but a pale shadow of the diversity that existed just a half-century ago. Recommendations based on sound, careful science must guide Mexico in moving forward to protect the Gulf of California. This edited volume contains contributions by twenty-four Gulf of California experts, from both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border. From the origins of the Gulf to its physical and chemical characteristics, from urgently needed conservation alternatives for fisheries and the entire Gulf ecosystem to information about its invertebrates, fishes, cetaceans, and sea turtles, this thought-provoking book provides new insights and clear paths to achieve sustainable use solidly based on robust science. The interdisciplinary, international cooperation involved in creating this much-needed collection provides a model for achieving success in answering critically important questions about a precious but rapidly disappearing ecological treasure.

Of California, for a Period of Thirty Years by H. J. Becker Pdf

Excerpt from Of California, for a Period of Thirty Years: Together With an Article on the Chinese Question We had contemplated publishing a book about two years ago, entitled Twenty-two Months an Itinerant in California. Our visit to the home of our childhood in Ohio at that time prevented the publication of the book, but very much of the statistics and numerous items intended for it have entered the history, and will no doubt serve a better purpose here than in the contemplated book. The map that we intended to publish would have cost too much to have justified us in making the financial sacrifice unless the subscribers list would have reached the number we called for when the announcement was made. The death of Rev. S. D. Ensley does not appear in the history. It was overlooked at the time for which we are sorry. His death is noticed in the minutes of 1868 as "having died during the last year." The resolution speaks of him in the highest terms, and offers words of sympathy to his bereaved family. We are very thankful to those who furnished us with items of interest for the volume now completed. Among the many who helped us are nearly all of the preachers now in the Conference. Rev. C. W. Gillett and wife will accept thanks for the Journals of Sloane and for their excellent Journal. Rev. Philemon Beck, also, for the early official records of the work in Yolo County. Rev. D. K. Flickinger is remembered for the indispensable help he gave us in the line of statistics and of engravings. We also thank Rev. G. W. Burtner for his very personal kindness to us in cases of extreme labors that were made lighter by his willing help. The article on the Chinese Question contained in the appendix is the result of close observation for several years. It is well for us to consider that there are matters connected with the disposal of the Asiatics among us that will involve questions of a kindred character too momentous for present undertaking. A question so completely interwoven with the very principles of our national existence and the sphere of our usefulness in the providence of God needs calmer thought than is fostered by an incited mob or an antipathetical politician urged on by his constituents. The writer speaks fearlessly and insists upon a fair and candid hearing. No vile invectives against these statements are needed. Let the matter be weighed at the tribunal of justice to all men, and the results need not be feared. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Ecosystems of California by Harold Mooney,Erika Zavaleta Pdf

This long-anticipated reference and sourcebook for California’s remarkable ecological abundance provides an integrated assessment of each major ecosystem type—its distribution, structure, function, and management. A comprehensive synthesis of our knowledge about this biologically diverse state, Ecosystems of California covers the state from oceans to mountaintops using multiple lenses: past and present, flora and fauna, aquatic and terrestrial, natural and managed. Each chapter evaluates natural processes for a specific ecosystem, describes drivers of change, and discusses how that ecosystem may be altered in the future. This book also explores the drivers of California’s ecological patterns and the history of the state’s various ecosystems, outlining how the challenges of climate change and invasive species and opportunities for regulation and stewardship could potentially affect the state’s ecosystems. The text explicitly incorporates both human impacts and conservation and restoration efforts and shows how ecosystems support human well-being. Edited by two esteemed ecosystem ecologists and with overviews by leading experts on each ecosystem, this definitive work will be indispensable for natural resource management and conservation professionals as well as for undergraduate or graduate students of California’s environment and curious naturalists.
