sehr empfehlenswert
informative (dreisprachige) Texte, jede Menge Fotos sowie Karten und gezeichnete Stadtpanoramen. Ich werde noch lange Freude an diesem Buch haben, welches den Weg von Los Angeles von der abgelegenen Agrar-Kommune zur Weltstadt nachzeichnet. Hab schon manche Stunde in diesm Buch geschmökert, oftmals eine Lupe zuhilfe genommen, um noch die kleinsten Details in den Stadtplänen zu erkennen. Ich begeistere mich dafür, einzelne Straßenszenen des Jahres 1890 aus diesem Buch mit der aktuellen Street View Ansicht zu vergleichen, über die Anfänge der Filmindustrie in der Stadt zu lesen, zu sehen, wie die Stadt zur Automobil-Metropole wurde...

... Angeles for over 30 years I thought I knew pretty much about the city
After living in Los Angeles for over 30 years I thought I knew pretty much about the city. This book presents an excitement to the reader to learn more about the city. The collection of photographs and commentaries have been researched thoroughly. They Are presented in a chronological manner depicting the historic growth and expansion from historic archives and more. I was surprised at the extensive collection of maps and photographs in the book, some I have seen before but this is a great collection and to my mind is one of the best to date and properly represents the story of Los Angeles. Great visuals, an excellent book for anyone who want to know about my city or wants to look through the eyes of the photographer and see the city grow. Would recommend this to anyone.
