Hidden Treasures of San Francisco Bay

En savoir plus sur le livre

Whether focused with intimacy on the unblinking and thoughtful eye of a mountain lion or on the moon that seems delicately balanced atop a distant ridge, Dennis E. Anderson lays before us an unusual bay that is full of surprise and unexpected delight. We immediately recognize the photographs in his book as truthful yet exotic at the same time. Individually they move or even startle. Together they present a Bay as no one person has ever seen from the deck of a boat or the seat of a small helicopter, from beneath the surface of the water or through the blades of marsh grasses, from dozens of angles and perspectives. As we move through the book, our senses are awakened. With intelligent and knowledgeable text, _Hidden Treasures of San Francisco Bay_ will enlarge our vision, expand our understanding and, it is hoped, inspire us with a desire to protect and cherish, to become caretakers of what is surely one of the great wonders of the world—a wonder, it turns out, that we are just beginning to explore.
