| 520 | 1 | |a "In this book, Kevin Starr probes the possible collapse of the California dream in the years 1990-2003. Coast of Dreams moves through a variety of topics that show the California of the last decade, when the state was sometimes stumbling, sometimes humbled, but, more often, flourishing with its usual panache." | |
| 520 | 8 | |a "From gang violence in Los Angeles to the spectacular rise - and equally spectacular fall - of Silicon Valley, from the Northridge earthquake to the recall of Governor Gray Davis, Starr ranges over myriad facts, anecdotes, news stories, personal impressions, and analyses to explore a time of unprecedented upheaval in California. Coast of Dreams describes an exceptional diversity of people, cultures, and values; an economy that mirrors the economic state of the nation; a battlefield where industry and the necessities of infrastructure collide with the inherent demands of a unique and stunning natural environment. | |
| 520 | 8 | |a It explores California politics (including Arnold Schwarzenegger's election in the 2003 recall), the multifaceted business landscape, and controversial icons such as O.J. Simpson."--Jacket. | |
