Native Grandeur HC

California is its own world, with natural landscapes so rich and diverse that they harbor more native species of plants and animals, and more native species at risk, than any other state. Illustrated with evocative nineteenth and early twentieth century landscape paintings drawn from private and public collections throughout the state, Native Grandeur celebrates California's natural wonders, region by region, surveying both the accomplishments of the modern conservation movement, and the challenges that still face it.
