Book Description
Named a Best Book of the Year by The Washington Post, NPR, Vanity Fair, LA Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Huffington Post, The Atlantic, Refinery 29, Men's Journal, Ploughshares, Lit Hub, Book Riot, Los Angeles Magazine, Powells, BookPage and Kirkus Reviews The much-anticipated first novel from a Story Prize-winning “5 Under 35” fiction writer. In 2012, Claire Vaye Watkins’s story collection, Battleborn, swept nearly every award for short fiction. Now this young writer, widely heralded as a once-in-a-generation talent, returns with a first novel that harnesses the sweeping vision and deep heart that made her debut so arresting to a love story set in a devastatingly imagined near future: Unrelenting drought has transfigured Southern California into a surreal, phantasmagoric landscape. With the Central Valley barren, underground aquifer drained, and Sierra snowpack entirely depleted, most “Mojavs,” prevented by both armed vigilantes and an indifferent bureaucracy from freely crossing borders to lusher regions, have allowed themselves to be evacuated to internment camps. In Los Angeles’ Laurel Canyon, two young Mojavs—Luz, once a poster child for the Bureau of Conservation and its enemies, and Ray, a veteran of the “forever war” turned surfer—squat in a starlet’s abandoned mansion. Holdouts, they subsist on rationed cola and whatever they can loot, scavenge, and improvise. The couple’s fragile love somehow blooms in this arid place, and for the moment, it seems enough. But when they cross paths with a mysterious child, the thirst for a better future begins. They head east, a route strewn with danger: sinkholes and patrolling authorities, bandits and the brutal, omnipresent sun. Ghosting after them are rumors of a visionary dowser—a diviner for water—and his followers, who whispers say have formed a colony at the edge of a mysterious sea of dunes. Immensely moving, profoundly disquieting, and mind-blowingly original, Watkins’s novel explores the myths we believe about others and tell about ourselves, the double-edged power of our most cherished relationships, and the shape of hope in a precarious future that may be our own.

Excerpt from A Treatise on Citrus Culture in California: With a Description of the Best Varieties Grown in the State, and Varieties Grown in Other States and Foreign Countries, Gathering, Packing, Curing, Pruning, Budding, Diseases, Etc To the Honorable the Officers and the Members of the State Board of Horticulture: Gentlemen: This little "Treatise" is by permission most respectfully submitted for your kind consideration and approval. I have used every effort within my power to have the same in the hands of the Printer, but owing to the immense increase of business of this Department, to which I must devote the most of my time, and having had no assistance, it has been delayed until now. The inquiry for information on this subject has by far exceeded my power to give by letter, and I sincerely hope that this little work will now supply the long felt want. Very respectfully submitted.

Book Description
Excerpt from Citrus Fruits and Their Culture The closing decades of the nineteenth century have seen great changes in the principles of citrus fruit culture in America. Twenty years ago the amount of fruit produced was comparatively small, now the industry has attained a place among the large horticultural industries of this country. Then, at most, a few hundred boxes of fruit were produced annually; now the crop is counted not by hundreds but by millions of boxes. The pomelo was scarcely known and the lemon was a fruit imported almost entirely from the Old World. Then, the means of transportation closed many a desirable tract of land through which the railroad now runs and from which large quantities of fruit are now shipped. Then, the methods of combating insects and fungous diseases were less perfectly understood than now. In those days, the fertilizers applied to the soil were mostly made at home, now the nitrogen, phosphorus and potash, deemed so essential for the production of first-class fruit, in many districts, can be obtained as commercial commodities in any market. Numerous devices are now successfully employed in protecting trees and fruit against the effects of frost and freeze, then, nothing of the kind was attempted or in fact deemed necessary. Then, cover crops were not considered in the light in which they now are. Then, the citrus industry in the New World was more or less firmly linked to that of the Old. Now, we have an American industry on the large, broad lines of American progress. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
