Beneath that mythology lies another reality: the erasure of Native histories, the exploitation of natural systems, and a deepening separation between people and place. As climate breakdown intensifies and natural disasters escalate, bestselling author Obi Kaufmann challenges us to see the Golden State anew--not as a commodity or fantasy, but as a living, interconnected world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith wonder and urgency, \u003ci\u003eCalifornia Inside Out \u003c\/i\u003ereflects on the boundless intricacies of the world that surrounds, prompting bold, imaginative questions: What words might connect us more deeply with the places where we live? What if a watershed can think? What if a forest has a mind of its own? Across five chapters full of wisdom and heart, Kaufmann shares poignant personal stories and ecological insights from five decades of life in California. Illustrated throughout with his signature watercolor artwork drawn from across Kaufmann's celebrated career, this naturalist's treatise is a call for awe and action.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Heyday Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54429407543662,"sku":"9781597147255","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/1007\/0382\/files\/imageloader_b62fff28-7e00-49e3-8d52-c4cb71fca723.jpg?v=1785433658","url":"https:\/\/tenderbuttonsbooks.com\/products\/california-inside-out","provider":"Tender Buttons Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
