Sponsored by Vroman’s Bookstore and Journal of Alta California. Presented by The California Sunday Magazine.
Journalist and memoirist Mark Arax delves the history of his native California’s use, overconsumption, and mismanagement of water. Starting from 1769, Arax’s book details the transformation of California’s modest farms to leading agricultural businesses. He spotlights state’s biggest landowners as well as the thousands of Native American laborers who died cultivating the farms.
