"Every California household should have a copy of the 608-page atlas. … Start with Kaufmann’s introduction, because it encapsulates the author’s relationship with the landscape he so dearly loves. From there, read it frontward, backward or according to whatever topic piques an interest." —San Jose Mercury News
"A gorgeously illustrated compendium." —Sunset
"If you're looking for freeways or pathways, expressways or BART lines, this book can't help you. If, on the other hand, you're looking to get lost in the flora, fauna, and natural habitats that exist across California beyond the I-5, this is a wonderful little guide." —AFAR
"A modern-day masterpiece." —Santa Barbara Independent
"Transcend[s] the genre of nature writing." —Monterey County Weekly
"A revelation. Kaufmann educates and delights the reader simultaneously." —Mike Sonksen, Entropy
