From Library Journal:
Unfolding Beauty focuses on the state's natural world. Editor Beers (English, Santa Clara Univ.) selects writings that take California as its subject and setting. The book is divided into seven parts, each targeting a particular region of California. The scope includes the traditional authors mentioned in the previous title as well as many 20th-century authors, such as Wallace Stegner, William Saroyan, Gretel Ehrlich, and Charles Bukowski. Essays, poetry, and excerpts round out a collection featuring the natural paradise of the land. Sentiments differ throughout the collection, setting up contrasts between descriptions of untouched beauty and environmental degradation. Both books are necessary purchases for regional libraries. Elsewhere, libraries interested in an historical appreciation of the literature (The Literature of California) or multiple view of the environment (Unfolding Beauty) should purchase accordingly.DJoyce Sparrow, Juvenile Welfare Board of Pinellasa Cty., FL
