Slightly off-topic here, but there’s a new book for those interested in geology, history, ecology, and travel guides in California’s North Coast Ranges: Exploring the Berryessa Snow Mountain National Monument Region, written by Marc Hoshovsky, Bob Schneider, Peter Schiffman, and also me (Tim Messick). I mostly prepared the maps and other graphics in this lavishly illustrated volume.
It’s available now from Backcountry Press, here:

(And you get a free eBook version when you purchase the paperback edition before February 1st, 2026.)
