Book Description
Excerpt from California, Where Life Is Better Not only room, but need. California cannot fulfill her manifest potentialities until many new millions have been added to her present population. The hard sledding pioneer phase is past. There remains the task of building, in this garden of the West, a proud and rich civilization which will be in some measure an answer to the opulent challenge of nature. Life today in California is on the whole freer, richer, happier in all probability than it is anywhere else in the world. What life can be tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, ifman does well his part where nature has been infinitely prodigal, is something that can scarcely be contemplated without a catch of the breath. Californians Inc. Invites you to come and enjoy this free and vivid life of the present, and to join in building the greater California of the future. This booklet, like the map on the following page, is only a general outline of California and what it offers you. It is impossible, brie y, to tell you of all the resources and advantages of the many beautiful, progressive, and prosperous cities and towns and counties which make California what it is. But we have detailed information concerning all of them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Southern California Story
Author: Michele ZackPublisher:
ISBN: 9780615322438
Category : History sites
Languages : en
Pages : 369
Book Description
Sierra Madre, a suburban town in the Pasadena-Los Angeles orbit, has a distinct history. By contrast, Southern California's story is huge, varied, difficult to grasp. Examining the two together, and looking at how Sierra Madre has reflected regional and national experiences, brings new focus to the whole. Unlike histories of regions, states, and nations that must draw broad strokes at the expense of details about place--this work uses such references as windows onto larger meanings, taking readers beyond the local. Peeking out from behind intimate stories are big historical themes and epochs: the Industrial Revolution, Westward expansion, the role of illness in forming regional culture, Americanization policies of the Progressive Era, Japanese internment, and post-war development. Sierra Madre provides a sharp lens through which to interpret Southern California's intense allure, its history as a real estate deal, and its racial ambivalence. The context of a specific town--and the quest for a better life--lends fresh perspective that enlivens and deepens out understanding of the Southern California story.

Book Description
FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE CARTEL. When Jack Wade is called in to examine a suspicious arson claim, he follows the evidence into the crime infested inferno of the California underworld. Jack Wade was the rising star of the Orange County Sheriffs Department’s arson unit, but a minor scandal cost him everything, except his encyclopedic knowledge of fire. Now working as an insurance claims investigator, Jack is called in to examine a suspicious claim: within hours of a disastrous blaze tearing through a wing of real estate mogul Nicky Vale’s house— causing the horrific death of his young wife—he filed a 3 million-dollar insurance claim. The tracks of the fire tell Jack that something's wrong, and as he follows the evidence the case grows to involve the Russian mob, Vietnamese gangs, real estate scams, counterfeiting and corporate corruption. Things get so hot and deadly that Jack might not make it out alive . . . that is until he decides to fight fire with fire.
