This textbook was designed especially for Community College students, as a resource to instill the knowledge and adventure that the discipline of geography holds for so many of us. The following units will cover a wide array of topics such as: California’s water resources, geology, weather, climate, culture, architecture, and agriculture. As you will see, the geography of California is diverse; geographically, geologically, and culturally. This text explores these avenues and more by providing Case Studies and highlighting the unsung people, locations, and narratives of the State.
