"This book seeks to simultaneously document and engage. We aim to make disappearing
and long-gone landscapes more visible in social memory, and to combat the erasure
of visual clues to the past. We offer this geography in the form of a guide book,
which is a practical approach through which to connect to readers as more than consumers
of words on a page. We hope you will travel these streets, seeking clues to the past
that help explain the present; these are real places where people have sought to make
the world as they would want it. To that end, this guide is about understanding how
places come into being, both in the Bay Area and beyond. The first four chapters each
address a geographic region, first the East Bay, then South Bay & Peninsula, followed
by San Francisco, then North Bay & Islands. These chapters are organized geographically
and alphabetically; most essays are titled by the place in which events occurred,
rather than with descriptive titles that suggest what took place there. Also, watch
for the 'nearby' and 'related' sites after many entries. Chapter Five offers suggestions
for creating thematic tours out of the material in the first four chapters. Finally,
two appendices offer further resources for wandering and thinking critically about
geography, history, politics and culture in the Bay Area, as well as a timeline of
key historical moments that frame the text"
