100 Views of the Golden Gate
With a bow to the Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849), whose woodblock series 100 Views of Mt. Fuji celebrates Japan’s iconic mountain, this book is a lush photographic paean to San Francisco’s world-famous icon—the majestic Golden Gate. In this tribute to the natural wonders of the San Francisco landscape, as well as the enduring marvel of the Golden Gate Bridge, professional photographer/writer and Bay Area native Harold Davis has created a collection of over 100 striking digital photographs of the Gate—the strait that connects the San Francisco Bay to the Pacific Ocean and the Bridge itself—taken from different vantage points, times of day and night, and seasons. Awash in color and mood, the all-color digital images in this book show that the Golden Gate is worth a look again and again and again.
* Includes reproductions of well-known Hokusai prints, as well as back stories for each Golden Gate photo.
* Author of a number of other photography books, Harold Davis also writes the popular Photoblog 2.

A Trial on its Merits: The Life of a Federal Judge
S. ARTHUR SPIEGEL
A Trial on its Merits: The Life of a Federal Judge is not a sexual romp or a coming-of age story. There are no lurid passages, romantic interludes, exciting chase scenes, or tender moments, although it does detail a type of passage: the journey of a United States District Judge detailing his first 25 years on the federal bench. It is a hands-on depiction of the work of a federal district court, reviewing many of the types of cases appearing on its docket and the techniques used for resolving these disputes.
Too little is known of the work of the federal trial courts, and too much criticism is leveled at them by a public that fails to realize they serve as the main bulwark safeguarding our constitutional rights. It is my hope that this book will help to dispel some of that ignorance and to advance a more reasoned discussion of their role in our society.

After the Storm (Hardcover)
Christopher Beaver
The San Francisco Bay Area is paradise for the outdoor enthusiast, with tens of thousands of open space within easy reach. Much of this open space is under the jurisdiction of the East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD). Founded in 1934 by conservationists, the EBRPD is a distinct and separate governmental entity whose mission is to preserve and protect open space. It encompasses 659 parks and 29 regional trails running some 1100 miles across more than 97,000 acres in Alameda and Contra Costa counties.
Between 1982 and 1992, Bob Walker (1952-1992), a self-taught photographer and environmental activist, created one of the most memorable photographic portraits of a geographic region ever captured on film. Often working in coordination with the EBRPD, Walker photographed the landscapes and moods of the East Bay. His photographs, together with his persistent advocacy, increased public awareness and resulted in the designation of new East Bay parks. Some of his photos reproduced here document open space that has been lost forever to urban and suburban sprawl.
For the first time, Walker’s magnificent photographs have been gathered together in a large-format book. After the Storm: Bob Walker and the East Bay Regional Park District includes over 80 images carefully selected from the 40,000 slides Walker donated to the Oakland Museum of California. In this book, his photographs and the description of his efforts as an environmental activist create a revealing portrait of a remarkable region—what has been saved and what can so easily be lost.

Beyond the Horizon
Colin and Julie Angus
Colin Angus began his quest to circumnavigate the Earth under his own power in Canada in June 2004. His 720 day journey took him through Alaska, across the Bering Sea, through Europe from Moscow to Portugal, across the Atlantic to Costa Rica, and then back to Vancouver.
While facing the relentless cold of the Siberian winter, Angus battled an even greater danger—the steadily mounting rift between himself and expedition partner Tim. Ending the fateful pairing mid-Russia, Angus plowed forward now competing with his friend-turned-foe to be the first to finish a human-powered journey around the globe.
Without skipping a beat, Angus’s fortunes turned golden when his fiancée Julie Wafaei agreed to complete the journey with him. Together they rowed through the fiercest hurricane season of modern history, narrowly escaping death, arriving shaken and stirred, but alive in the Costa Rican port of Limon, where they began the long final push toward home. This is a book about strength, not only physical but of character as well. With a powerful message of energy conservation paired with a thirst for life, Beyond the Horizon is a non-stop feast of wow and wonder that packs a flurry of punches page after page.

Bullet with Your Name on It
Avery Hurt
For each person, though, there
can be many bullets — and by knowing where to look, and what actions to
take, readers may be able to dodge most of them. Consumers looking for
reliable medical advice face a barrage of uncertain, often
contradictory, and occasionally deadly misinformation, with as many
prescriptions for better living as there are lobbying groups and
pharmaceutical companies.
Avery Hurt sifts through the chaff of current medical hype to focus
on the key health issues that everyone faces. She simplifies the
current research on risk factors for heart disease, cancer,
Alzheimer’s, and other conditions so that readers can make meaningful
decisions based on their own situations and lifestyles. Through her
by-the-numbers approach, readers can adopt preventative steps that
lessen their odds for contracting terminal illnesses.
