In one inclusive volume about soils crops, livestock, and the protection of plants and animals from pests and diseases, the authors—and there are several—trace the history of, and discuss the social and economic development, of California's agriculture from the time of the arrival at San Diego in 1769 of the original cattle herd to the current production of more than 200 commercially important crops.
