DESCRIPTION
|
California's richly diversified caves are ready to be discovered.
Beneath the famous mountain, forest, desert, and coastal scenery lies
another Utopia -- endless miles of lava tubes, beautifully decorated
caves in limestone and marble, extraordinary talus caves, huge sea
caves, and more. Gems of the Golden State introduces the reader to
Nature at her finest. Factual accounts of how caves are formed,
decorated, and studied are mingled with fanciful legends and true-life
accounts of adventure, luck, and talent among the caves' discoverers,
explorers, and guardians.
| This book is richly illustrated with nearly seventy top quality photographs by renowned cave photographers, Peter and Ann Bosted, who have been photographing California's finest caves for over two decades. Their work has appeared in countless books, magazines, post cards and museum exhibits. Five calendars, with a large global circulation, have been published featuring their photographs. Ann Bosted drew on her many experiences in California's caves and supplemented them with painstaking research to produce a page-turning text that is sure to inspire many memorable visits to California's best caves. |
