From the author of bestselling The California Field Atlas comes a new work that guides readers through the Golden State's coastal lands, and also presents a profoundly original vision of nature in the twenty-first century. The Coasts of California features an abundance of Obi Kaufmann's signature watercolor maps and paintings, weaving them into an expansive and accessible exploration of the biodiversity that defines California's coast. Expanding on the style of the Field Atlas, Kaufmann has created a treasure for any coast-lover. The book is a time capsule of enduring and endangered places, a geographic epic bursting with color.

Full of illuminating infographics, maps, and wonderfully observed wildlife watercolors. A perfect gift for the California outdoor enthusiast.
