The Elusive Eden charts the historical development of California; beginning with landscape and climate and the development of Native cultures; and continues through the census of 2010 and the election of Jerry Brown to his third term as governor. It portrays a land of remarkable richness and complexity; settled by waves of people with diverse cultures from around the world. Organized in ten parts; each part develops a major theme or issue in the chronological development of the state. The first chapter in Parts II through IX is an in-depth narrative spotlight of an individual or group at a critical moment of change. In Parts I and X; the first chapter helps to place California's whole story in context. For additional resources; please see co-author; Mary Ann Irwin's site: http://www.TeachingElusiveEden.com.
