PAPERBACK, very good, little used if at all. BRECHIN, GRAY A. Imperial San Francisco: urban power, earthly ruin. Berkeley: University of California Press, 2001, 1st prperback printing and 1st printing number line, xxvi, 402pp., . California studies in critical human geography, 3. - "For more than a century before the current enthusiasm for Pacific Rim trade, San Francisco's leaders strove to make the ocean their lake. In Imperial San Francisco, urban geographer Gray Brechin provides a visionary and myth-shattering reinterpretation not only of the city by the Golden Gate but of the process of urbanization itself, a saga that extends from the rise of ancient Rome to the founding of Washington to the nuclear destruction of Hiroshima." "Brechin maintains that "imperial" cities use advanced remote control technology to pull toward their centers the resources and energy of far-flung "empires" in order to raise the value of real estate. This process, founded on the extractive practice and ethos of mining, permits a few individuals and families to attain immense wealth and power at the expense of the city's hinterland and of succeeding generations." - CONTENTS: Preface: The Urban Maelstrom -- Introduction: New Romes for a New World -- Foundations of Dominion -- The Pyramid of Mining -- Mythologizing Mining -- The Invisible Pyramid -- California's Classical Precedent -- The Renaissance of Mining -- The Age of Discovery, Conquest, and Fugger -- De Re Metallica -- The James Marshall Myth -- A Promised Land Plundered -- Working the Frisco 'Change -- Ralston, His Ring, and the Comstock Lode -- The Sierra Nevada Flayed -- Halting Hydraulicking -- Mining Engineers as Heralds of Empire -- Deferred Costs -- Specious Denials -- Enduring Attitudes -- Transfer Technology -- Financial Districts as Inverted Minescapes -- Water Mains and Bloodlines -- Revealing Power -- A Shrine to Water -- Roman Aqueducts -- The Spring Valley Monopoly -- San Francisco Reclaims San Mateo County -- Hermann Schussler -- William Hammond Hall and the Thirst of Golden Gate Park -- Ralston's Last Gambit -- Sharon Rises on Ralston's Fall -- Francis Griffith Newlands -- Building Burlingame -- Phantom Capital -- The Greening of San Mateo County -- Phelan Discovers a Reservoir Site -- Enhancing Real Estate Values -- Los Angeles Lurches Ahead -- San Francisco Stalls -- None Other Than Hetch Hetchy -- Michael M.

Hardcover. First edition. Fine in Near Fine Pictorial Dust Jacket. An important, scholarly analysis of the history behind San Francisco's apparent rise to the status of Imperial City. This celebrated history of San Francisco traces the exploitation of both local and distant regions by prominent families - the Hearsts, de Youngs, Spreckelses, and others - who gained power through mining, ranching, water and energy, transportation, real estate, weapons, and the mass media. The story uncovered by Brechin is one of greed and ambition on an epic scale, and he arrives at a new way of understanding urban history as he traces the connections between environment, economy, and technology and discovers links that led, ultimately, to the creation of the atomic bomb and the nuclear arms race. 85 b/w photographs, 7 maps, 1 graph. Notes, Bibliography, Index. Very attractive maroon cloth with gilt titling on spine. Dust Jacket shows very mild shelf wear. Interior is clean, crisp, tight & bright, unmarked. xxvi, 402 pp. Approx. 6" x 9". A very nice copy. First Editions of this work are scarce. Carefully shipped in secure parcel. Ask all questions; glad to respond.

Hardcover. Zustand: Near fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. First Edition. When writer Gray Brechin and photographer Robert Dawson received the 1992 Dorothea Lange-Paul Taylor Prize from Duke University's Center for Documentary Studies, they began a five-year project of driving and flying around California to record the present state of its environment. This book is the result of that collaboration. In six thematic chapters dealing with Loss, Mining, Farming, Cities, Energy, and Health, the authors provide a sobering look at California's environment. Signed and dated in the year of publication by Brechin on the title page. Oblong quarto. Original burgundy cloth binding, with bronze titles. The contents are sagging just a touch, as usual; else fine in a fine dust jacket.
