Conservationist OBI KAUFMANN Presents THE CALIFORNIA FIELD ATLAS - A RETROSPECTIVE
After completing the first phase of the "California Field Atlas Series", author OBI KAUFMANN introduces what comes next. In an exclusive presentation at Mrs. Dalloway’s, Obi pulls back the curtain on the strategies and processes that brought the first six books of the series into being over the past ten years and the trajectory for expanding the vision. Working now on the second "California Lands Trilogy", Obi explores what is left to say and where there is space to explore in this work.
OBI KAUFMANN is an award-winning author of many best-selling books on California's ecology, biodiversity, and geography. Most famously, his 2017 book "The California Field Atlas", currently in its seventh printing, recontextualized popular ideas about what he calls “California’s more-than-human world.” Following his initial "Field Atlas", his following books, "The State of Water: Understanding California's Most Precious Resource" and "The California Lands Trilogy: The Forests of California", "The Coasts of California", and "The Deserts of California" present a comprehensive survey of California’s physiography and its biogeography in terms of its evolutionary past and its unfolding future. His latest book, 2024’s "The State of Fire: Why California Burns", is among his most popular and timely books to date. You can catch him every month in conversation with author and tribal chairman Greg Sarris in their podcast called Place and Purpose. An avid conservationist, Obi Kaufmann regularly travels around the state, presenting his work and vision of ecological defense and reciprocation from the Klamath-Siskiyou Wildland Center to the Mojave Desert Land Trust. A lifelong resident of California, when he isn’t backpacking, Obi Kaufmann makes his home base in Oakland. You can follow his work on Instagram at @coyotethunder.
