"In tJiese days of rising prices and decliViing values, it's 

 alwdys good to read a new California Natural History 

 Gujae; these little books are small enough to fit into a 

 po|ket, inexpensive and authoritative." — \Sunset 



"If you're vacationing in California thia summer 

 canping out or just taking day trips to some\pf our great 

 pJrks and primitive areas — some of the nicest things 

 tcipack along are the California Natural History Guides, 

 published by the University of California Press AThey'ri^' 

 ccinpact (in paperback), scientifically precise but intj^- 

 esfngly presented, and written so even elementaryVdiool 

 children can read them with relative ease. They'rewUus- 

 tr^ed with quite accurate line drawings and colgr plates 

 an^, best of all, they're relatively inexpensive.
