Berkeley Bohemia Artists and Visionaries of the Early 20th Century by Shelley Rideout. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781423600855.

Berkeley Bohemia highlights the contributions of the eccentric residents of one of Americas centers of cultural innovation, during a critical period in the development of the countrys radical thought. These writers and artists included Ansel Adams, Jack London, Dorothea Lange, John Muir, Bernard Maybeck, Joaquin Miller, Ina Coolbrith, and Charles and Lousie Keeler and other colorful characters less well known today. Due to its vibrant setting as a crossroads of cultures, Berkeley continues as a fertile ground for individuality, eccentricity, and creative expression. The Berkeley legacy of scholars and visionaries has inspired three generations of men and women, who still make Berkeley a place where ordinary people can flourish creatively, and the extraordinary is welcomed.
