Dick.Bob Johnson and Janet Byron—longtime city residents and tour guides—designed these 18 walks to showcase the many elements that make Berkeleyrsquo;s neighborhoods; shopping districts; and academic areas such fun to explore. Visitors will discover a vibrant community beyond the University of California campus borders; while locals will be surprised and delighted by the treasures in their own backyards.Highlights of the book include a focus on architects Joseph Esherick; John Galen Howard; Bernard Maybeck; Julia Morgan; James Plachek; Walter Ratcliff; Jr.; and John Hudson Thomas; 100 archival and original photos; and 20 maps; including a map of Berkeley bookstores.
