This is a really comprehensive overview of the damage that was wrought on Monterey Bay by waves and waves of commercial exploitation and the almost miraculous recovery of some of that previous wealth. Highly recommend

Amazing book that covers fungi and their many, many roles in the natural world.
Way more comprehensive than you can imagine, but then probably not as comprehensive as it actually is.
Will definitely turn your world upside down.

William M. Cubery
Hilarious little book, written in 1900 by William Cubery, a well-known California publisher, who came to SF after apprenticing in the Boston publishing industry. Madison Hawes publishing career paralleled this exactly and his obituary mentions that he worked for Cubery after his own ventures failed. They had to have known each other well. Did I say hilarious?

(I think this is more like March if not earlier - my mom would have been 7 mo pregnant with my sister in May but in a companion photo of her she is not 7 mo pregnant (maybe 5?)
Henry Cowell became a State park in 1954.
