Book Description
Excerpt from California's Redwood Wonderland: Humboldt County How one loves the rains - prepares for them! Dress in your rainy day clothes; put on your rubbers, slicker or rain coat; grasp the trusty umbrella, and let it pour. The weary exile, in the dry and perpetual sunshine of other climes, panting for his native land, wonders what is the matter with him. The symptoms of trouble are easily read. His skin is dry, his eyes are red and inflamed, the webs between his fingers and toes itch, he has a nervous feeling. A duck out of water is the simile which applies to him. Longing will not cure him. What he needs is a winter trip to dear old Humboldt. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

"We have the pleasure of presenting to our patrons one of the largest and most elegant County Histories yet issued on this Coast. Not only ample in the number and beauty of its illustrations, and quality of the paper and binding, but also in the extent and accuracy of its historical matter. We hope our efforts to represent the important features of this county may lead its inhabitants to understand and appreciate more fully its varied resources. We hope we have furnished information to the traveler, the tourist, or the emigrant who is seeking a location.The book is fully illustrated, as may be seen at a glance, with views of many of the principal residences, mills and business houses of the county.

Book Description
Two men played a crucial role in the creation and early history of the National Park Service: Stephen T. Mather, a public relations genius of sweeping vision, and Horace M. Albright, an able lawyer and administrator who helped transform that vision into reality. In Creating the National Park Service, Albright and his daughter, Marian Albright Schenck, reveal the previously untold story of the critical "missing years" in the history of the service. During this period, 1917 and 1918, Mather's problems with manic depression were kept hidden from public view, and Albright, his able and devoted assistant, served as acting director and assumed Mather's responsibilities. Albright played a decisive part in the passage of the National Park Service Organic Act of 1916; the formulation of principles and policies for management of the parks; the defense of the parks against exploitation by ranchers, lumber companies, and mining interests during World War I; and other issues crucial to the future of the fledgling park system. This authoritative behind-the-scenes history sheds light on the early days of the most popular of all federal agencies while painting a vivid picture of American life in the early twentieth century.

Book Description
Petey Weaver is considered the first woman park ranger in California State Parks. In Me and the Mother Tree, she recounts in vivid prose her 20 years working in at the very beginning of the Calfornia State Park System. She brings to life not only the early parks, but many of the rangers and staff who operated, protected, served and educated the public. Petey served in four parks, Big Basin, Richardson Grove, Pfeiffer Big Sur and Seacliff State Beach, during her park career which spanned from 1929 to 1950.

Book Description
The Origins of Self explores the role that selfhood plays in defining human society, and each human individual in that society. It considers the genetic and cultural origins of self, the role that self plays in socialisation and language, and the types of self we generate in our individual journeys to and through adulthood. Edwardes argues that other awareness is a relatively early evolutionary development, present throughout the primate clade and perhaps beyond, but self-awareness is a product of the sharing of social models, something only humans appear to do. The self of which we are aware is not something innate within us, it is a model of our self produced as a response to the models of us offered to us by other people. Edwardes proposes that human construction of selfhood involves seven different types of self. All but one of them are internally generated models, and the only non-model, the actual self, is completely hidden from conscious awareness. We rely on others to tell us about our self, and even to let us know we are a self.
