This is a revised and enlarged version of A Troubled Oasis: A Critical History of Palm Springs. The key chapter on the tragedy of the Section Fourteen so-called "urban holocaust," when minorities were evicted from the center of the city in the 1960s, has been dramatically updated in light of a tranche of new, revelatory documents published online by city officials in the spring of 2023. However, all of the chapters have been enriched by greater detail, new subjects, and deeper research, making this new edition practically a new book. A critical perspective has been maintained, eschewing the boosterism of traditional municipal histories. This comprehensive study should appeal to anyone who wants to know more about the history of Palm Springs, from the prehistoric times of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians to the present day.

Lynch's fine poems suggest we're closest to life when also closest to death-a thoughtful message for these times. . .Through these poems we feel our own urgent desire for beauty that surrounds us still. Paula J. Lambert

"Imagine being one of twenty children, ages seven to fourteen, stranded in a makeshift school bus for thirty-three hours during the worst blizzard to hit Colorado in more than fifty years. The gripping narrative of Children of the Storm leads you through this haunting experience. The morning of March 26, 1931, began with sixty-degree weather and students excitedly running to board Carl Miller's bus for their routine ride to the Pleasant Hill School. By the time they arrived at the pair of forlorn one-room schoolhouses, it was dark, windy, and cold-obvious signs of a spring snowstorm. Soon after, following the teachers' orders to drive the children to a nearby home for safety, Miller lost his sense of direction in the ensuing whiteout and lodged the bus in a ditch. When rescuers found the survivors a day and a half later, the blizzard had taken its deadly toll. The media avidly pursued the story, and the children became national and international celebrities. Ariana Harner and Clark Secrest have written the first comprehensive account of the tragedy, culling details from interviews, newspaper clippings, and archival documents. This is a tale of media exploitation, false heroism, lifelong heartbreak, and hard-won survival"--

"When Richard Grant and his wife moved with their four-year-old daughter back to Tucson, Arizona, where the couple first met, he expected to easily rekindle his love of the region. Instead, he found a housing market gone haywire, rampant election conspiracies, and right-wing political violence alarmingly close to his home and family. Undocumented immigration was surging, and the state was also on the front lines of climate change, breaking heat and drought records, and running out of long-term water supplies. Under these circumstances, Grant wondered how he might raise a happy, well-adjusted child who believes in the future. Yet these concerns weren't keeping people away: Arizona was simultaneously experiencing some of the nation's highest population growth. Grant mixes memoir, research, and reporting in a quest to understand what makes Arizona such a confounding and irresistible place its the world's largest machine-gun shoot; takes a sunset boat cruise with a US Congressman and a group of far-right patriots; rides through the desert with a Border Patrol agent; and goes camping with his family in breathtaking mountain ranges that rise out of the desert like islands in the sky persed with these adventures are recollections of his previous stint in the state, including his friendship with cult writer Charles Bowden and years living off the grid with smugglers, dope farmers, and outlaws on the Mexican border. Ultimately, Grant arrives at the conclusion that Arizona has always been a scattershot improvisation, with bizarre and extreme behavior in its DNA."--

Carmichael Presbyterian Church (CPC) was founded in 1923. It was the first church to be established in the Northern California farming community of Carmichael Colony. Now an inner-ring suburb of Sacramento, Carmichael still has pockets of citrus and olive groves, horse properties, and beautiful views of the American River. It is also an urbanized area where many struggle with food and housing insecurity. The social mission of CPC has been the main theme in its story from the very beginning, and today the church dedicates much of its energy on food and hospitality-related ministries.Stories of Faith is a follow-up to Heritage of Faith: A 75-Year History of Carmichael Presbyterian Church, which was published in 1998. As such, this book emphasizes the most recent twenty-five years in the church's history (1998-2023). It also reaches back farther, when needed, to show how various features of the church today are connected to important threads of its longer history. The chapter structure follows the church's mission statement: "Responding to God's love through Jesus Christ, we welcome all, nurture relationships, grow in faith together, and connect with and serve our community and the world."Readers of this book are invited to reflect on the story of their own faith community, whether CPC or another congregation, and ponder what they find most worthy of celebration. They are also challenged to identify areas where they feel called to pray, discern, or deepen their own commitment.

French-American artist Marc Fichou takes us on a fascinating journey into his creative process with this publication of his Carnet, one of many notebooks he has filled with the thoughts, puzzles, and lines of inquiry that have guided his work over the years in a variety of media, from video installation to sculpture and painting. This book lies in between image and text but also philosophy and art, even memoir and fiction. Do we look at it or read it? Or do we practice both at once, wrestling with the differences between seeing and thinking, contemplation and action, beauty and truth? Fichou takes this ambivalent experience as a starting point for explorations of a personhood that, defined since Descartes as a subjective "inner life" (core or essence) we control and express, feels increasingly decentered, networked, and cybernetic. At the interfaces of the human and the machinic, the organic and the technical, he looks to the imaginative possibilities as well as the dangers that exist for people who no longer exactly know themselves through traditional categories of identity, intention, autonomy. . .and even art itself. ***L'artiste franco-américain Marc Fichou nous invite à un voyage fascinant au sein de son processus créatif avec cette publication de Carnet, un carnet parmi les nombreux qu'il a rempli de pensées, questionnements, et recherches qui ont guidé son travail sur les années dans une variété de médiums, de l'installation vidéo à la sculpture et la peinture. Ce livre se situe entre l'image et le texte, la philosophie et l'Art, la nature et l'artifice, l'humain et la technique (sans mentionner le français et l'anglais), et même entre le journal intime et la fiction. Le regarde-t-on ou le lit-on ? Ou pratiquons-nous les deux à la fois, confrontant les différences entre voir et penser, la contemplation et l'action, la beauté et la vérité ? Fichou prend cette expérience ambivalente comme le point de départ d'explorations d'une identité individuelle, définie depuis Descartes comme vie intérieure subjective (noyau ou essence) que nous contrôlons et exprimons, qui se ressent de plus en plus comme décentrée, en réseau et cybernétique. Son livre est rempli de paradoxes, qui pour lui témoignent de ce changement spatio-temporel : des rubans de Moebius, des ensembles infinis, des hypercubes, des formes en tore, des boucles de rétroaction; tous pointent vers les possibilités émergentes qui existent pour ceux qui ne se reconnaissent plus tout à fait dans les catégories traditionnelles de l'identité, de l'intention, de l'autonomie ... et d'ailleurs de l'art lui-même.

Fox is the teenage son of a single mom who has grown up poor and transient until he arrives in Orange, California, with his first chance at a sense of belonging. There he meets Axel, an eccentric loner with a hyperactive imagination who introduces him to the fenced off no-man's land of a riverbed that winds through the suburban neighborhood where they live. There fantasy and reality collide in the stories they invent, the games they play, and the powers they resist. When Axel gets into trouble with the authoritarian pastor of his church, he runs away both for real and into his own fantasies. Fox goes looking for him in more ways than one, accompanied by his friend Angel, a Latin-X girl with a critical mind and a lot of experience in adult hypocrisy. What they all end up finding is the courage to be themselves and to care for one another in a world that doesn't much value either. The Riverbed tells the story of three intelligent young people coming to learn about the darker sides of the suburban dream they call home. Written in a fabulating style but with a realist's eye for the details of place, history, and nature, it combines the playfulness (if not the largeness) of a Salman Rushdie novel with the moral seriousness of J. D. Salinger. It will be loved by readers of all predilections - those with their heads in the clouds no less than those with their feet on the ground.

Calaveras County is one of the original 27 counties created when California was formed in 1850. At the time, it encompassed Alpine, Amador, and Mono Counties. Amador was the first to be separated in 1854, with Mono County following in 1861 and Alpine County in 1864. With the discovery of gold at Sutter's Mill on January 24, 1848, Calaveras County saw immigrants from every corner of the world. These pioneers brought with them the drive to make it rich and to make their lives and their families' lives better. Some did, and some lost their lives trying. Between 1848 and 1965, the county produced about nine million ounces of gold, valued today at over $18 billion. Today, tourism in Calaveras County supports approximately 2,400 jobs and contributes about $6 million to state and local taxes. Miners still find gold in the streams and rivers, families drive the back roads exploring the old towns and mines, and wine lovers enjoy wine tastings at the more than 50 tasting rooms scattered throughout the county.

This book chronicles the once-vibrant hot rod scene in California's San Fernando Valley--from the iconic Bob's Big Boy drive-in to the San Fernando drag strip. Featuring "TV" Tommy Ivo, Don "The Snake" Prudhomme, Bob "Floyde Lippencotte Jr." Muravez, Jim Miles, and many other luminaries from the golden age of drag racing, it also tells the story of the Road Kings of Burbank car club and how its members progressed from street racing to dominating the Southern California drag-racing scene. Several members of the club went on to become major stars as they spread the sport of drag racing across the United States and abroad through showmanship and innovation. And, of course, the book has lots of cool pictures of hot rods, customs, and dragsters.

Forging America's FuelHenry Cottle registered the first mining claim in what would become northern Hot Springs County in the late 1880s. Henry Monro and Frank Porter's Cedar Mountain "Cowboy Mine" followed in 1898. In 1906, Burlington Railroad built its southbound line from Billings, Montana to Frannie and Worland, Wyoming. The route was, in no small part, because of the quality and quantity of coal near Kirby. With a rail contract for a twenty-mile extension, Mormon pioneer Jesse W. Crosby, Jr. filed his mining claim in 1910. Naturally, more entrepreneurs followed, including Samuel Gebo. The coal camps of Gebo and Crosby were born, forming a significant coal district that nurtured a true melting pot of nationalities. Author Lea Cavalli Schoenewald recounts the area's heyday and the lives that powered its development.

"Washington has a tortured history with liquor. Efforts to ban or restrict it date back to 1854, before the region even attained statehood, with blue laws remaining on the books well into the twentieth century. Delve into the legends and the outliers responsible for this illicit and unsavory business that has now emerged as a respectable multimillion-dollar craft spirits industry. From Jimmie Durkin, an enterprising saloon owner, to Roy Olmstead, a former Seattle cop turned gentleman bootlegger, the business of liquor has inspired both trouble and innovation. Join author and journalist Becky Garrison as she traces the history of the barrel and the bottle from early settlement to the modern craft distilling boom in the Evergreen State."--

This is a book for anyone, of any age, who cares about rivers.This story of the Columbia River is unique. Told from the river¿s perspective, it is an immersive, empathetic portrait of a once-wild river and of the Sinixt, a First People who lived on the mainstem of this great western river for thousands of years and continue to do so even though Canada declared them ¿extinct¿ in 1956.The book¿s re-release comes at a critical time for natural systems and for reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples across North America. The Colville Confederated Tribes, representing over 3,000 Sinixt People, recently won a precedent-setting case in the Supreme Court of Canada affirming that Aboriginal Rights do not stop at the border. The important story of the Sinixt weaves together with the ongoing ecological impact of hydropower development on the Columbia and its tributaries.Central to the story is the joyous spirit of salmon, once a free swimmer in the Columbiäs currents north of the border but now blocked from ancestral spawning grounds by Grand Coulee and other dams. Restoring migratory fish indigenous to the Upper Columbia will require transboundary cooperation. With Indigenous Nations on both sides of the US¿Canada border now leading the way, many are hopeful that the fish will return.Lavishly illustrated by Nelson, BC, designer Nichola Lytle, this portrait of a globally significant river will inspire anyone who reads it to care about the future of the salmon, a fish that unites all of us in its quest for freedom and possibility.
