<p>La Jolla: The Story of a Community, 1887-1987, is a remarkable pictorial history of what has been termed "one of the most beautiful places on earth." In words, and over two hundred photographs, author Patricia Schaelchlin has captured the drama of events that has shaped this Southern California Community. This book is extensively researched and well referenced, using primary data from city, county, and national records as well as the La Jolla Journal and La Jolla Light on a weekly basis from 1919 to 1964. Secondary data from local and national historical societies and libraries are included. Numerous "sidebar" articles include newspaper accounts of the time, giving a feeling of La Jolla and its happenings. From the boom times of early land auctions to modern debates over high rises and land use, La Jolla: The Story of a Community shows how local events and history can sometimes have far reaching consequences.</p>
