Land of Sunshine: An Environmental History of Metropolitan Los Angeles
ISBN: 9780822959397 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Most people equate Los Angeles with smog, sprawl, forty suburbs in search of a city - the great what not to do of twentieth-century city building. But there's much more to LA's story than this shallow stereotype. History shows that Los Angeles was intensely, ubiquitously planned. The consequences of that planning - the environmental history of urbanism - is one place to turn for the more complex lessons LA has to offer. Working forward from ancient times and ancient ecologies to the very recent past, Land of Sunshine is a fascinating exploration of the environmental history of greater Los...

Whitewashed Adobe: The Rise of Los Angeles and the Remaking of Its Mexican Past
ISBN: 9780520246676 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 349 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Chronicling the rise of Los Angeles through shifting ideas of race and ethnicity, William Deverell offers a unique perspective on how the city grew and changed. Whitewashed Adobe considers six different developments in the history of the city--including the cementing of the Los Angeles River, the outbreak of bubonic plague in 1924, and the evolution of America's largest brickyard in the 1920s. In an absorbing narrative supported by a number of previously unpublished period photographs, Deverell shows how a city that was once part of Mexico itself came of age through appropriating--and...

Railroad Crossing: Californians and the Railroad, 1850-1910
ISBN: 9780520205055 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 278 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Nothing so changed nineteenth-century America as did the railroad. Growing up together, the iron horse and the young nation developed a fast friendship. Railroad Crossing is the story of what happened to that friendship, particularly in California, and it illuminates the chaos that was industrial America from the middle of the nineteenth century through the first decade of the twentieth. Americans clamored for the progress and prosperity that railroads would surely bring, and no railroad was more crucial for California than the transcontinental line linking East to West. With Gold...

California Progressivism Revisited
ISBN: 9780520084704 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. California was perhaps the most important locus for the development of the Progressive reform movement in the decades of the twentieth century. These twelve original essays represent the best of the new scholarship on California Progressivism. Ranging across a spectrum that embraces ethnicity, gender, class, and varying ideological stances, the authors demonstrate that reform in California was a far broader, more complicated phenomenon than we have previously understood. Since the 1950s, scholars have used California Progressivism as a model case study for explaining early...

A free ebook version of this title is available through Luminos, University of California Press's Open Access publishing program for monographs. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. Los Angeles rose to significance in the first half of the twentieth century by way of its complex relationship to three rivers: the Los Angeles, the Owens, and the Colorado.
