The final volume of USC Professor and former State Historian Kevin Starr's spirited, comprehensive magnum opus on California is cause for celebration. Covering demography, water, freeways, politics, culture, major cities and race relations, the new book offers sketches of many of California's often larger-than-life individuals: Buffy Chandler, Cardinal McIntyre, Pat Brown, Dave Brubeck, Clark Kerr, Lawrence Ferlinghetti and Herb Caen. Starr will be in conversation with KGO radio talk show host John Rothmann.
