Based on decades of exploring the backcountry of the Golden State  artist-adventurer Obi Kaufmann blends science and art to illuminate the multifaceted array of living  connected systems like no book has done before. Kaufmann depicts layer after layer of the natural world  delighting in the grand scale and details alike. The effect is staggeringly beautiful: presented alongside California divvied into its fifty-eight counties  for example  we consider California made up of dancing tectonic plates  of watersheds  of wildflower gardens. Maps are enhanced by spirited illustrations of wildlife  keys that explain natural phenomena  and a clear-sighted but reverential text. Full of character and color  a bit larger than life  The California Field Atlas is the ultimate road trip companion and love letter to a place.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44945263362101,"sku":"ByrdShop_1597144029","price":33.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781597144025.jpg?v=1769880403","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-california-field-atlas","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
