Product Description
Bob Walker (1952-1992), a self-taught photographer and environmental activist, photographed San Francisco's East Bay landscapes between 1982 and 1992. His images, together with his advocacy, helped contribute to the designation of new parklands, now permanently protected from development. Some photos document open space that has been lost forever to urban and suburban sprawl. After the Storm: Bob Walker and the East Bay Regional Park District includes more than 80 of the best images of the 40,000 he donated to the Oakland Museum of California. The photographs, combined with descriptions of his activism, create a revealing portrait of a remarkable region--what has been saved and what can easily be lost. This full-color book is published in collaboration with the East Bay Regional Parks District, which encompasses 65 parks in 97,000 acres of Alameda and Contra Costa counties.

Beautiful Book July 28, 2008
This is a beautiful book, beautifully written. I highly recommend your purchase of this book. Besides, I know the writer of this book and he's doing important environmental work as a documentary filmmaker focusing on California's fragile ecosystems.

This is a FANTASTIC collection of photographs by a real artist. The East Bay Regional Park District lands (Alameda & Contra Costa Counties in CA) are one of a kind jewels to be enjoyed. Thanks to some visionaries these parks, trails and open spaces have been preserved for humankind.
