The Human Tradition in California captures the region's rich history and takes readers into the daily lives of ordinary Californians at key moments in time.

Organized chronologically from the pre-mission period through the late-twentieth century, this book taps into the whole spectrum of Californian experience and offers new perspectives on the state's complex social character. The story is personalized through the use of mini-biographies, drawing readers directly into the narrative.
