Presented in a pocket landscape format and with captions explaining each photo, California is a stunning collection of images that vividly brings to life on the west coast of America, from Beverly Hills and Hollywood to Death Valley and the vineyards of Napa Valley, not to mention San Francisco and the tech giants of Silicon Valley.

America’s most populous state is often seen as a west coast paradise by those who live there – and those who desire to live there. Anchored around the urban centres of Los Angeles in the south and San Francisco in the north, California is a place of idyllic beaches, cutting-edge architecture, spectacular national parks and Hollywood dazzle.
In the pages of California, find out about the Big Sur, the precipitous, beautiful windy drive along Route 1 in the central coast; Yosemite National Park, home to the imposing Half Dome and El Capitan mountains, and offering stunning views from Glacier Point; San Jose and Silicon Valley, centre of the world’s tech industry; Santa Monica Beach, a mecca for sun seekers; Rodeo Drive, the home of luxury goods stores in Beverley Hills; and Death Valley in the Mojave Desert, one of the hottest, driest places on Earth.
Presented in a handy, pocket-sized landscape format and with captions explaining the story behind each photo, California is a stunning collection of images that brings to life the vitality of this iconic west coast American state.
