San Diego: Views of Past and Present (Views of the Past and Present)

Today San Diego is America's eighth largest city, but before becoming this it was largely an agricultural area that boasted wide-open spaces, rolling hills and mountainous inclines, nearby desert beauty and of course, the expansive Pacific Ocean with its many beaches. This book invites you to explore a pictorial history of what San Diego once was and what it has become. Tour the seaside communities, its downtown sector, its valleys and suburbs and gain a perspective of the impact that time has made upon this spectacular city. Professional photographer, and San Diego native, George Ross Jezek has assembled a visual tour for you as seen through archival photographs set against those same vantage points taken through his own lens. The comparison is not only telling and insightful; it provides a narrative of its own.
