This review is from: The Campus Guides: University of California Berkeley (Paperback)
I've worked at this university for many years, and walked past many of the buildings described in this book without really wondering what their stories were. This book opened my eyes to the treasures that have surrounded me. (I think of the old jazz standard "How Long Has This Been Going On?") Mr. Helfand's knowledge of the history of the campus is matched by the intelligence of his appreciation.

This review is from: The Campus Guides: University of California Berkeley (Paperback)
I really enjoyed this book, and many others in the series.
I did attend Berkeley, but my interests in architecture, photography, and history- specifically that of higher education in America, made this an excellent addition for me. Easy read, wonderful pictures... I just really enjoyed it. Great for moments of fond nostalgia. Go Bears!
