Deep Oakland

Autor Andrew Alden Ilustrat de Laura Cunningham
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 2 mai 2023
  • Blurbs from Jenny Odell, Roman Mars, and David B. Williams, demonstrating great enthusiasm from the larger urban studies community for this book. 
  • Andrew Alden is an established presence in geology in the Bay Area, with over 7,000 followers on Twitter and columns in KQED, among others. His blog, Oakland Geology, was voted "Best in the Bay" by East Bay Express.
  • California geology is of special interest to many readers and this book looks at it through the lens of one specific city, but it teaches readers to take a longview of their community/city which is so very important to understand how our world changes.
  • Beautiful, clear writing that makes geology accessible to the layperson.
  • A unique perspective of local history and city history that shows how 'deep' forces in the past are connected to the present.

Notă biografică

Andrew Alden is a geologist and geoscience writer who has worked for the US Geological Survey and reported for KQED and Bay Nature. Long fascinated with rocks and landscapes, Alden found inspiration for his debut book, Deep Oakland, in the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, which, as he writes, "ripped the city open and revealed to us its heart and character." Through his writing Alden raises awareness for what he calls the deep present: the appreciation of the ancient underpinnings that shape the modern-day surroundings of daily life.
