The Salton Sea is a man-made catastrophe, redolent with the smell of algae and decomposing fish. Nevertheless, the lake's vast, placid expanses continue to attract birdwatchers, tourists and artists. In Greetings from the Salton Sea, photographer Kim Stringfellow explores the history of California's largest lake from its disastrous beginnings—the "sea" was formed when Colorado River levees broke and spilled into a depression 280 feet below sea level—to its heyday as a desert paradise in the 1950s and its current state as an environmental battleground. Like the 400-plus species of birds that use the lake as a halfway point in their annual migration, developers flocked to the water too: they planted palm trees, built golf courses, and hired showstoppers such as the Beach Boys to perform at area resorts. These days, politicians seek to redirect the lake's only source of replenishment—agricultural runoff from surrounding farms—to water golf courses and green lawns elsewhere. Greetings from the Salton Sea's photographs capture the war among policymakers, environmentalists, developers, and the individuals still living along the lake's shores. As Stringfellow aptly documents, it is a war for water and, ultimately, for existence.

This book of vintage photographs, postcards, magazine ads, and other ephemera tells the story of Los Angeles from dusty pueblo to thriving metropolis. Greetings from Los Angeles tells the story of the city’s long and largely forgotten history, from its early years as a tiny Spanish village through its many transitions over the centuries. Here are rare glimpses of Chinatown’s evolution; the orange empire; backyard oil wells; Venice of America; the roaring 1920s and corrupt 1930s; glamorous Wilshire Boulevard; movie studios and the lavish movie star estates; as well as theme parks such as Disneyland, Knott’s Berry Farm, and Marineland of the Pacific. Through these images, readers witness the birth of midcentury modernism, futuristic Googie coffee shops, and the space-age Los Angeles International Airport. Author and architectural historian Peter Moruzzi offers insightful commentary that provides essential historical context
