Title: Delta primer
Description: This "is a book about the contested landscape where California's Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers meet the San Francisco Bay. It is also an imaginative map, a deck of cards, a gazing ball, an open-ended environmental history, and, potentially, a mediation tool. Characterizing the book's author and illustrator Jane Wolff is a similarly multi-dimensional task-landscape designer, graphic designer, cultural landscape historian, environmentalist, story teller, game player, cartographer, troublemaker, travel guide. This seems fitting for the hybrid landscape and engineered ecology of the Delta and for a century where the boundaries between nature and technology are in constant re-negotiation"--Back cover.
