The Golden Shore by David Helvarg
From the first human settlements to the latest marine explorations, The Golden Shore tells the tale of the history, culture, and changing nature of California's coasts and ocean. David Helvarg takes the reader on both a geographic and literary journey along the state's 1,100-mile Pacific coastline, from the Oregon border to the San Diego-Tijuana international border fence and out into its whale-, seal-, and shark-rich offshore seamounts, rock isles, and kelp forests. Part history, part travelogue, part love letter, The Golden Shore captures the spirit of the California coast and its mythic place in American culture.David Helvarg is the founder and president of the Blue Frontier Campaign, a non-profit organization in Washington, D.C. that promotes ocean and coastal protection. He has written for the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, Smithsonian, Popular Science, Sierra, and The Nation, as well as producing over forty documentaries for PBS, the Discovery Channel, and other outlets. He's also a scuba diver, a licensed private investigator, and a body surfer. He lives near San Francisco Bay and is the author of The Battle Against the Greens, Blue Frontier, and 50 Strategies to Preserve the Ocean.
