Rough Guide to California (4th Ed. 1996) |
by Deborah Bosley, Jamie Jensen, Mick
Sinclair, Paul Whitifield
4th Edition, Paperback Published by
Rough Guides (June 1, 1996)
This is the only guidebook to capture the marvelous scope of California -- a state that
plays host to countless communities and cultures as it sprawls across untold climates and
terrain. The Rough Guide takes you to the heart of the great cities such as Los Angeles,
San Francisco and
up-and-coming San Diego, offering critical reviews of hotels, restaurants, clubs and bars
for all
budgets and tastes. For outdoor enthusiasts, the book covers California's natural wonders,
from
Yosemite to Big Sur, the deserts and the Grand Canyon. It delivers the lowdown on all the
hot
sports, from mountain biking to rock climbing, surfing and more. Its detailed maps and
money-saving travel tips are a boon to all visitors. There are also entertaining takes on
the state's history, from the Gold Rush days through the counterculture of the 1960s and
the sometimes volatile mix of lifestyles and political views today. Peeling back the paint
of literature, film and other media, the Rough Guide also weighs the reality of
present-day California, looking into the many scenes and subcultures and the tribulations
faced by immigrant populations and much-maligned areas such as South Central LA.Ready
