BOOK DESCRIPTION:
Coast to Cactus: The Canyoneer Trail Guide to San Diego Outdoors is much more than a
hiking guide. Written by the San Diego Natural History Museum Canyoneers, it is the new “bible” for really getting
to know and appreciate the county’s biodiversity while exploring it firsthand. The guide has 250 hikes, each with
its own map and photograph, hike description with mileage, elevation gain/loss, difficulty rating, directions to the
trailhead with GPS, trail use, special features, and type of habitat(s) found on each hike. Each hike has a focus on
a species or natural/cultural history feature associated with that hike.
The book complements the Museum’s new 8,000-square-foot permanent exhibit – Coast to Cactus in
Southern California, which helps the visitor understand the region’s diverse ecosystems and why it is one of the
world’s biodiversity hotspots. Use this guide to personally experience San Diego’s diversity.
Canyoneers are Citizen Scientists and volunteers who have had comprehensive training by Museum
scientists and local experts on the natural history of the region. Canyoneer hikes teach appreciation for the great
outdoors. When you hike with a Canyoneer, you are encouraged to stop, look, listen, touch, smell, and examine—
to understand that everything is linked together. The Canyoneers are one of the few trail-guide groups nationwide
affiliated with a natural history museum rather than a park or reserve. They have provided free guided tours to
parks and open spaces in San Diego County since 1973. Now, with this new guide, one can go on a hike with
their own virtual Canyoneer to explore coastal shores to urban parks, backyard canyons to rural foothills, and
from forested mountaintops to desert badlands and washes.
Purchase of this book supports the San Diego Natural History Museum’s mission: “to interpret the natural
world through research, education, and exhibits; to promote understanding of the evolution and diversity of
southern California and the peninsula of Baja California; and to inspire in all a respect for nature and the
environment.”

BLOOD OF THE BAND: An Ipai Family Story
ISBN: 9781941384121 Retail: $19.95
Author: David L Toler Jr., Pub Date: 10/15
The Ipai (also known as Kumeyaay) are the native people of northern San Diego County. This
book illustrates how one Ipai family’s remarkable story forms part of the little-known, yet
profoundly significant long-term history of human habitation in the land that only recently has
come to be known as southern California. Beginning with the ancestors’ accounts of the creation
of the world that link the Ipai with the unique characteristics of our region’s natural world, the journey then takes
readers through the archaeological, historical, ethnographic and contemporary accounts of the dramatic
transformations through which the Ipai have persisted and ultimately prospered.
Behold What Is Greater Than Thyself
ISBN-13: 978-0-9640858-7-9, Retail: $16.95
Author: Chris Ahrens, Publisher: Perelandra Publishing Company
Pub date: March 2016, Case: 40, Format: soft cover, 185 pages, 8 ½ X 5 1/2
Category: Fiction/Adventure sports
A 15-year old surfer strikes his father, thinking he has killed him. With only a surfboard and a
backpack he hitchhikes south, into Baja. There, a family of commercial fishermen adopts him.
Eventually he smuggles himself back into the U.S. expecting to face murder charges.
For everyone that finds Baja hell on earth, someone else considers it the world’s last paradise. For surfers it’s a
great place to find lonely and perfect waves. For sinners it’s a good place to become a saint. For saints, it’s a
convenient place to become a sinner. While the unlucky can lose their wallets, their health and their sanity in 24
hours or less, the chosen ones part only with things not worth keeping. Baja is a bad place for some, a good place
for others and the only place for a young surfer in big trouble. When 15-year old surfer Tommy Stern retaliates
against his alcoholic father’s violent attack, he thinks he has killed the man. In response to his crime the boy
grabs his surfboard and hitchhikes south, all the way into Baja. Once there a family of commercial fishermen
adopts him. He surfs perfect, empty waves while learning the ways of a caring family and the art of fishing. After
five years his conscience disturbs him and he smuggles himself back into the U.S. where he expects to face
murder charges. What he finds upon his return, however, alters his life forever.
Endorsements/reviews: Ahrens has lived a life deeply embedded in the topic of his writings His observations are
well worth the effort. –Steve Pezman, Publisher, Surfer’s Journal

to own. His photography captures the unique beauty of this special place and records how humans have
recognized this beauty through spectacular architecture and unique landscaping and design. He has masterfully

photographic work by any standard.”

the spirit of visual La Jolla. I have lived here since 1935, taken a real interest in the local scene, been a
professional photographer, and have never seen a portfolio of La Jolla photos that could approach the life, the
drama, the scope of these.”

surfing makeover from his teenage sons, Serge Dedina shows us with humor and passion, how riding waves
is a gateway to the world beyond the beach.
“Surfer, adventurer, activist—it’s a life trajectory many of us hope to emulate. In these keenly observed essays,
Dedina unspools his own deep journey from surf rat to change-maker, a ride that is as fun and provocative as it is
profound.” —Kimball Taylor, author of The Coyote’s Bicycle

story of how Serge learned what he knows, what has fueled him, and why he’s optimistic about the power of the
lessons of surfing to carry us through.” —Drew Kampion, author of Stoked! A History of Surf Culture

Baja California Land of Missions

Author: David Kier
Publisher: M & E BOOKS
Pub Date: 2/2016
Format: soft cover
Page count: 244, Trim size: 8.5" x 5.5"
This book contains a detailed history of the activities by the Spanish and others
attempting to colonize the peninsula of California from 1535 to 1855. Over 125 photographs, maps, and
drawings, provide the reader with a view of the actions of the Spanish Empire using missions to
colonize California. The author's research resulted in new discoveries and facts which are included in
this look at the history and the present conditions of the twenty-seven peninsula missions; many
relocated to multiple sites. The nearly 200 missionaries who served in Baja California between 1683
and 1855 are also named. This book covers the period from the discovery of California in the 1530s
through the establishment of all twenty-seven missions in Baja California to when the last missionaries
left in 1855.
This guidebook is glovebox or backpack friendly and contains the GPS waypoints for the mission sites.
The book is made to be easy to use, easy to read and contains a full list of reference books in back, as
well as an index.
“I have written two books and numerous articles about Baja and wish this book was
available when I was doing my research. Inveterate Baja buff David Kier has created the
consummate guide to the historic missions of Baja California. He explains and/or dispels
long-established rumors and guesswork about the missions and the dedicated padres who
established them. The fine maps and photos help make this book an easy to digest reference
guide.” ~Greg Niemann, Author, Baja Legends and Baja Fever
“With his great passion for Baja California history, especially its mission history, author
David Kier is well qualified to write a concise yet comprehensive guide to the missions
founded on the peninsula by the Jesuit, Franciscan, and Dominican Orders. This handsome
and handy volume represents a fine attempt to achieve that goal, provoke discussion, and
place the Baja missions in a broader historical and geographical context.”
~Graham Mackintosh, Author, Journey with a Baja Burro, and others
“Baja California Land of Missions is a unique and handy summary of existing data about a place
and time which defies examination and description… The book chronicles the missions on the
peninsula. Readers will learn more about the missionaries, the storied Camino Real, the process, the
setbacks, the suffering and those who plan to travel the mission chain will feel the centuries slipping
away with this book in hand.” ~George Bergin, Respected Baja Commentator, La Paz, Baja California Sur
“I just received a copy of your new book, ‘Baja California: Land of Missions.’ Thank you for
all the hard work that went into this volume. It is certainly the best book written on the
subject. You have done an excellent job in researching the material. I learned a lot about the
history of all the missions and how they are tied together.”
~Lynn Rosenvall, Retired professor of historical geography and head of the department of Geography
at the University of Calgary in Canada.

Tom Hom: Rabbit on a Bumpy Road
Hardcover: 978-0-932653-44-4 | $21.95 | Pub Date: 5/14 | 392 pages | 6 x 9 | Carton Qty: 20
Softcover: 978-1-941384-11-4 | $14.95 | Pub Date: 3/15 Author: Tom Hom | Publisher: Sunbelt Publications
RABBIT ON A BUMPY ROAD is Tom Hom’s memoir—a story of courage and endurance in meeting life’s
challenges to achieve “The American Dream.” Tom was born into a Chinese family in the year of the Rabbit in the
1920’s when much of American society was segregated, socially and economically. He entered school in San
Diego, like other children who lived in Chinatown, speaking only Chinese. As he grew older, he faced limited job
opportunities and discrimination in housing. He never lost faith in the American dream and went on to achieve
success for himself, his family, and the greater good of a diverse America, breaking age-old barriers of prejudice
and segregation. Today, Tom Hom is a respected elder who has contributed to the success and growth of San
Diego and has inspired a new generation of Americans to greater achievement in economic growth and civic
responsibilities. His journey and words of wisdom offer encouragement to all who believe in the future of America.
“. . . a page-turner and a tonic for tired souls. It affirms the wisdom, values, optimism and belief in America’s
promise which Tom and his eleven siblings absorbed from their extraordinary immigrant father. . . . By his clear
precepts and strong example, the Hom children learned that honesty, discipline, hard work, and education can
overcome discrimination and transform opportunity into high achievement and personal fulfillment. . . . It should

Publisher: SUNBELT PUBLICATIONS, Author: GEORGE JEFFERSON, PUB DATE 1/06, Format: HC
North America's richest continuous fossil record - the last 6 million years - includes camels, giant sloths,
mammoths, and cheetahs. Learn more…Southern California’s Anza-Borrego Desert State Park® is a vast, mostly
arid desert, but the ancient landscapes of Anza-Borrego were richly populated riparian forests and savanna.
Before that, it held a tropical inland ocean teeming with marine life. Today’s eroded badlands provide North
America’s most continuous history of life for most of the last 7 million years—one of the richest, most varied fossil
records of its time in the western hemisphere—opening windows onto the region's long-vanished past. AnzaBorrego’s record contains more than 550 types of fossil plants and animals, ranging from microscopic pollen and
water fleas to walrus bones and mammoth skeletons, which have been the focus of ongoing research, study, and
interpretation since the mid-1850s. The results of the past several decades of study by leading researchers from
across the nation can now be seen in this comprehensive work, a compilation of 23 authors each with his own
specialty. Early chapters explore background themes and concepts, starting with the Imperial Sea episode.
Central chapters present the real stars of the story—individual groups of animals. The bestiary reads like a Who'sWho of many of the most unique fossil vertebrates on earth—bathtub-sized tortoises, the saber tooth cat, giant
ground sloths, the giant short-faced bear, the largest known mammoth, a giant camel, and the largest bird ever to
fly northern hemisphere skies. Closing chapters discuss fossil footprints, intercontinental connections, and paleo
climates and environmental change in the Anza-Borrego desert region.

reader, ages 13-18. Well written and interesting to adults as well. (The Yaqui territory covers Southern

LAVANDERIA: A MIXED LOAD OF WOMEN, WASH, AND WORD
ISBN: 9780981602066 Retail: $12.95 PUB. DATE 09/09, Format: SC, Editor: DONNA WATSON,
This anthology is an experience in written word and photography. It highlights the universal ritual and common interaction of
people, places, and things found between loads of laundry. Lavanderia gives the audience a unique look into an otherwise
ordinary chore by giving it voice and visual. It celebrates the task often deemed “women’s work” and honors the history of
washer women. These women writers reveal their secrets, fears, loves, and regrets in poem and story form, using the act of
doing laundry as a kind of metaphor to examine work, gender, class, and race. It touches on everything from labor strikes and
scrub boards to present day love affairs rinsed away in the automatic double loader. Lavanderia is a reminder that incredible
strength and spirit can reside in the most routine spaces.
