This work is intended as a useful companion for anybody interested in general or basic knowledge about any aspect of the most populous state in the Union. It is designed to be serviceable to a wide variety of readers and consultants, whose range might include residents and tourists, high-school and college students, as well as scholars seeking a ready reference. At present no single volume comprehends such a scope as this one and although it treats its subjects briefly, many an entry also includes data not found elsewhere in a single place. Reference to hundreds of books and articles would be required to provide the information that is here between the two covers.
James D. Hart, long a professor at the University of California, Berkeley, is Director of The Bancroft Library, the rare books and western Americana collection of the campus. His publications include The Oxford Companion to American Literature and The Popular Book: A History of America's Literary Taste.
