Wissen Sie, wer Gene Fowler ist? Auf jeden Fall stammt von ihm das bemerkenswerte Statement: Jedermann sollte in zwei Städte verliebt sein - in seine Heimatstadt und in San Francisco. Und am besten, mindestens einmal im Leben in San Francisco gewesen sein. Aber wie sollte das funktionieren für eine disabled Person, für eine hilflose Person, für einen waschechter Tetraplegiker, der bei Gelegenheit auch darüber redet, wann und warum es zwischen seinem sechsten und siebenten Halswirbel einen Knacks gab, der gleichzeitig das Rückenmark in diesem Bereich durchschnitt – also ein Mann mit einer hochgradigen Querschnittslähmung. Und ein solcher Mensch möchte zusammen mit seiner Frau über den großen Teich reisen? Mit dem Flugzeug? Doch es hatte sich eine Chance für ein solches Unternehmen ergeben: Captain Harald schickt uns nun aus San Francisco per Fax Verhaltensmaßregeln und das von Governor Pete Wilson gesiegelte und gebührenpflichtige Formular wegen der Sonderrechte für eine Disabled Person. Jetzt wissen Dörte und ich - das Unternehmen HAPPY ROLLIDAY ist angeschoben. In der Folgezeit kommen ungewohnt schnelle und gute Telefonverbindungen zwischen San Francisco und Berlin zustande, in denen es bereits um einen Termin für unsere Reise geht. Mittlerweile außerordentlich landeskundig, schlägt Harald die zweite Hälfte April vor. Erstes Hindernis ist, eine entsprechende Fluggesellschaft zu finden, die auch einigermaßen preiswert ist. Zudem wird Englisch gelernt und aufgefrischt, und am zweiten April geht es los – zufällig am selben Tage als fast neunzig Jahre zuvor, 1906, das bislang stärkste Erdbeben San Francisco verheerend getroffen hatte. Abflug Berlin-Tegel. Und später sind sie tatsächlich am Ziel angekommen und können eine andere Weisheit überprüfen, wonach die Ankunft in San Francisco ein Augenblick fürs ganze Leben sei. Von dort aus werden Lüdemann und seine Frau, kutschiert von Freund Harald, in vierzehn Tagen etwa 3.500 Kilometer kreuz und quer durch Kalifornien fahren – nach Sacramento, Mont Diablo und zum Jack London State Historic Park, nach Livermore, zum Yosemite National Park und nach Monterey, Bodega Bay und nach Sebastopol am Russian River. Es wurde eine einmalige Reise, von der Lüdemann am Ende sagt: Ich verhehle nicht meine generellen Bedenken gegenüber den U.S.A. vor der Reise. Heute habe ich doch zumindest eine Ahnung von Kalifornien. Mit konkreten Bildern vor Augen. Und Gene Fowler war übrigens ein amerikanischer Journalist und Autor.

In this book, Paula Chamlee turns her elegant graphic vision to an American icon the family-owned corner market. As a remembrance of a nearly vanished era, "San Franciso: Twenty Corner Markets and One in the Middle of the Block is an instant classic. As a work of modern art, it invigorates the subtle tensions between abstraction and documentation that are a hallmark of Chamlee's work. Photographing in San Francisco with her 8x10-inch view camera, Chamlee eschewed the traditional scenic views and found herself drawn to the family-owned corner markets those small islands of individuality that coexist with big city commerce. Each of these markets has its distinct character and charm, and Chamlee's aesthetic response led her to produce this significant series of photographs.

Capturing an ever-changing San Francisco, 25 acclaimed writers tell their stories of living in one of the most mesmerizing cities in the world. Over the last few decades, San Francisco has experienced radical changes with the influence of Silicon Valley, tech companies, and more. Countless articles, blogs, and even movies have tried to capture the complex nature of what San Francisco has become, a place millions of people have loved to call home, and yet are compelled to consider leaving. In this beautifully written collection, writers take on this Bay Area-dweller's eternal conflict: Should I stay or should I go? Including an introduction written by Gary Kamiya and essays from Margaret Cho, W. Kamau Bell, Michelle Tea, Beth Lisick, Daniel Handler, Bonnie Tsui, Stuart Schuffman, Alysia Abbott, Peter Coyote, Alia Volz, Duffy Jennings, John Law, and many more, The End of the Golden Gate is a penetrating journey that illuminates both what makes San Francisco so magnetizing and how it has changed vastly over time, shapeshifting to become something new for each generation of city dwellers. With essays chronicling the impact of the tech-industry invasion and the evolution, gentrification, and radical cost of living that has transformed San Francisco's most beloved neighborhoods, these prescient essayists capture the lasting imprint of the 1960s counterculture movement, as well as the fight to preserve the art, music, and other creative movements that make this forever the city of love. For anyone considering moving to San Francisco, wishing to relive the magic of the city, or anyone experiencing the sadness of leaving the bay—and ultimately, for anyone that needs a reminder of why we stay. Bound to be a long-time staple of San Francisco literature, anyone who has lived in or is currently living in San Francisco will enjoy the rich history of the city within these pages and relive intimate memories of their own. • GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY: A percentage of the proceeds will be given to charities that help those in the bay experiencing homelessness. Every copy purchased offers a small way to help those in need.

Winner of TransportiCA’s September Book Club Award 2018 On 17 October 1989 one the largest earthquakes to occur in California since the San Francisco earthquake of April 1906 struck Northern California. Damage was extensive, none more so than the partial collapse of the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge’s eastern span, a vital link used by hundreds of thousands of Californians every day. The bridge was closed for a month for repairs and then reopened to traffic. But what ensued over the next 25 years is the extraordinary story that Karen Trapenberg Frick tells here. It is a cautionary tale to which any governing authority embarking on a megaproject should pay heed. She describes the process by which the bridge was eventually replaced as an exercise in shadowboxing which pitted the combined talents and shortcomings, partnerships and jealousies, ingenuity and obtuseness, generosity and parsimony of the State’s and the region’s leading elected officials, engineers, architects and other members of the governing elites against a collectively imagined future catastrophe of unknown proportions. In so doing she highlights three key questions: If safety was the reason to replace the bridge, why did it take almost 25 years to do so? How did an original estimate of $250 million in 1995 soar to $6.5 billion by 2014? And why was such a complex design chosen? Her final chapter – part epilogue, part reflection – provides recommendations to improve megaproject delivery and design.
