Book Description
Excerpt from Picturesque San Jose and Environments: An Illustrated Statement of the Progress, Prosperity and Resources of Santa Clara County, California P - o - u m_the atmosphere during the summer months, and the never failing trade winds, prevent oppressive heat and there is no day during that portion Of the year in' which labor cannot be performed in comfort. The mildness of the winter climate is insured by the warm currents Of the Pacific Ocean which approach the coast in such a manner as to produce the most genial effect in this valley. The effect of these winds is the result of the topography of the country. Reference to the map which appears on another page Will make this fact readily apparent. These winds, which rise at about noon each day during the summer, rush with great velocity through the Golden Gate and are projected against Mount Diablo by which they are deflected to the south and reach this valley in gentle and refreshing breezes. The valley, being sheltered from the Pacific by a high range of mountains, is effectually protected from the harsher ocean winds and uncomfortable fogs, while the range of hills On the east furnish equal protection from the hot atmosphere of the great interior plains. The result is a climate moist conducive to health and comfort and to the highest development of all the products of field or orchard. In further illustration of this statement reference is made to the table of temperature published herewith, which has been accurately compiled from observations regularly taken in the City of San Jose, and which shows the reading of the thermometer, and the rainfall, for each day during the twelve months ending December 31, 1892.

Valley of Heart's Delight
Author: Anne Marie ToddPublisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520389581
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
This agricultural history explores the transformation of the Santa Clara Valley over the past one hundred years from America's largest fruit-producing region into the technology capital of the world. In the latter half of the twentieth century, the region's focus shifted from fruits—such as apricots and prunes—to computers. Both personal and public rhetoric reveals how a sense of place emerges and changes in an evolving agricultural community like the Santa Clara Valley. Through extensive archival research and interviews, Anne Marie Todd explores the concepts of place and placelessness, arguing that place is more than a physical location and that exploring a community's sense of place can help us to map how individuals experience their natural surroundings and their sense of responsibility towards the local environment. Todd extends the concept of sense of place to describe Silicon Valley as a non-place, where weakened or disrupted attachment to place threatens the environment and community. The story of the Santa Clara Valley is an American story of the development of agricultural lands and the transformation of rural regions.

Silicon Valley and the Environmental Inequalities of High-Tech Urbanism
Author: Jason A. HepplerPublisher: University of Oklahoma Press
ISBN: 0806194359
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
In the half century after World War II, California’s Santa Clara Valley transformed from a rolling landscape of fields and orchards into the nation’s most consequential high-tech industrial corridor. How Santa Clara Valley became Silicon Valley and came to embody both the triumphs and the failures of a new vision of the American West is the question Jason A. Heppler explores in this book. A revealing look at the significance of nature in social, cultural, and economic conceptions of place, the book is also a case study on the origins of American environmentalism and debates about urban and suburban sustainability. Between 1950 and 1990, business and community leaders pursued a new vision of the landscape stretching from Palo Alto to San Jose—a vision that melded the bucolic naturalism of orchards, pleasant weather, and green spaces with the metropolitan promise of modern industry, government-funded research, and technology. Heppler describes the success of a new, clean, future-facing economy, coupled with a pleasant, green environment, in drawing people to Silicon Valley. And in this overwhelming success, he also locates the rapidly emerging faults created by competing ideas about forming these idyllic communities—specifically, widespread environmental degradation and increasing social stratification. Cities organized around high-tech industries, suburban growth, and urban expansion were, as Heppler shows, crucibles for empowering elites, worsening human health, and spreading pollution. What do “nature” and “place” mean, and who gets to define these terms? Key to Heppler’s work is the idea that these questions reflect and determine what, and who, matters in any conversation about the environment. Silicon Valley and the Environmental Inequalities of High-Tech Urbanism vividly traces that idea through the linked histories of Silicon Valley and environmentalism in the West.
