Maggiori informazioni sul libro

In 1847, Yerba Buena, a little town of about one thousand people, changed its name to San Francisco. The new name stuck. Waves of people came to be part of the California Gold Rush of 1848. The Great Earthquake and Fire of 1906 left 225,000 people homeless and 500 people dead, and challenged the city to rebuild. In 1967, the last migration of 100,000 "Flower Children" came to settle in the Haight-Ashbury section of the city. Contemporary San Francisco is presented here by Brad Perks' amazing photographs. He captures the essence of this world class city in San Francisco: A Photographic Portrait.
