In support of the work Mountains Restoration Trust, the authors of "Range On The Edge, The Santa Monica Mountains" - Matthew Jaffe and Tom Gamache and the publisher, Angel City Press, are offering this spectacular book to contributors of $250 or more. Experience the wonder and history of the Santa Monica Mountains while helping preserve them for future generations.
Summary - "The Santa Monica Mountains" is an ambitious book, as sprawling, quirky and varied as the range itself. More than a coffee table book and just short of a travel guide, it's nothing less than a love letter to the wild heart of Los Angeles. Rock and water, fern and glen, red-tailed hawks vying for a meal, every imaginable kind of light — Gamache's lens captures it all. In a particularly stunning shot — at dawn or dusk, it's hard to tell — your eye takes in a steeply tilted landscape. There's the gnarled old tree, a frizz of short, dry grass, then the sudden shock of seeing a coyote calmly staring into the lens, into your eyes, bold and not at all afraid.”
The book is also available through Angel City Press, Barnes & Noble, Amazon.com and many other fine retail outlets.
