Excerpt from A Berkeley Year: A Sheaf of Nature Essays
For the land is a land of hills and valleys; and the mountains shall bring peace to the people.
A bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter. Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: and yet Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Wisdom hath builded here her house; she hath hewn out her seven pillars. She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is the man that retaineth her.
It is a good thing to call to remembrance the former times, to remember all the way the Lord, their God hath led the people; when they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in the land.
We have also a sure word of prophecy. Ye shall run and not be weary; ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace; for the eyes of the Lord are always upon the land, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a beautiful collection of writings about the natural history of Berkeley, California, which evolved over a million years from the Pacific Ocean and was twice glaciated during the Ice Age. Beginning with the indigenous inhabitants who lived on its shores as long ago as 3,000 years, it captures the spirit of humanity's arrival and impact on the landscape. Through a collection of diverse essays, the author weaves together the stories of the arrival of the Spanish, the founding of the Franciscan missions, the growth of ranching, and, finally, the establishment of the University of California, Berkeley, with its commitment to the study of the natural world. The author captures the transformation of Berkeley from indigenous home to global center of learning through the voices of those who witnessed its changes, and underscores the importance of preserving and appreciating its natural beauty even in the midst of a dynamic and ever-changing human world.
