"A valuable background on 150 years of California's political and environmental history. It presents primers on a number of the most pressing natural resource issues... [and] offers some practical, challenging and timely ideas about how Californians can do a better job in the future." -- Kathryn Phillips, San Francisco Chronicle
"This is a book of far-ranging interpretation and proscription; it is far more than a mere history of land use and development. Stephanie S. Pincetl... weaves a compelling historical narrative to bolster her case for a basic restructuring of California government and a redefinition of the meaning of citizenship." -- James J. Rawls, Southern California Quarterly
"[Pincetl] has brought together in one place, pieced together from a rather huge and disparate literature, a thorough, even exhaustive indictment. All of us who care about California can only hope the book will be noticed and read." -- Don Mitchell, Economic Geography
"The author has mined a vast literature, her central thesis is original and provocative, and she makes many wise and perceptive observations. Transforming California will prove of great value to historians of twentieth-century America." -- Donald J. Pisani, Journal of American History
"A thought-provoking work for environmental, urban, social, state, and regional historians." -- Choice
Review
"Stephanie Pincetl's Transforming California covers the previously neglected terrain of California's environmental history -- a story which has been absolutely central to the narrative of resource exploitation in America and of some of the most far-sighted attempts to resist it. This is an extraordinarily useful and important book." -- Richard A. Walker, University of California, Berkeley
