Clicking on a link takes you to the amazon.com website for the book. Note: We do not make money off of these links to amazon.com--I'd prefer it if you went to your local independent bookseller or your local public library. I can't vouch for all of these books, but I think they (may be) are worthwhile. Cadillac Desert is a must-read though.

Hart, John. Storm Over Mono. Berkeley : University of California Press, c1996.

Mount, Jeffrey F. California Rivers and Streams. Berkeley : University of California Press, c1995.

Postel, Sandra. Last Oasis. New York : W.W. Norton, 1992.

Reisner, Marc. Cadillac Desert. Rev. and updated. New York, N.Y. : Penguin Books, 1993.

Want to 'read' Cadillac Desert and Last Oasis without actually reading them? Try the PBS documentary Cadillac Desert. The documentary is quite good and I highly recommend it. Watch it even if you've read Cadillac Desert, or vice-versa.
