Praise for The Coasts of California (2022) and The Forests of California (2020) by Obi Kaufmann: A call to action-full of beautiful watercolor renderings of both landscape and data. -Los Angeles Times Obi Kaufmann's books are like bibles to me. They are, honestly, the outdoor guides I've looked for for decades. They're beautifully drawn, written, printed and bound, and they explain California's natural beauty better than anything I've read before. -Dave Eggers Swirls research with poetry, the personal and human with the collective and ecological ... -Mother Jones As a reader you are invited to join him on a journey of discovery-not as a passenger but as an active partner. -San Francisco Chronicle Everyone in the state should have this gorgeous book on their bookshelf. -CBS San Francisco
