The cover art on this wonderful book about California is a reproduction of a 96" x 96" acrylic on canvas called “A Bigger Splash,” 1967, by David Hockney.  

The Great California Story by Carl Palm is a richly detailed portrait of the state of California; a place that is as interesting as its reputation, a place where so many firsts in American life have occurred, and a place that is different because of the pre-occupation its citizens have long had with “looking good,” “having fun,” and pursuing the good life with a capital “G.”  It's a fun, interesting, and enlightening book, and I highly recommend it.
