"Originally published in 1986, Journey to Mount Tamalpais is at once a love letter and a deep study in prose and drawings of and to a mountain, a landscape, a geological presence, a place. With a career spanning decades, genres, and nations, Etel Adnan's contributions to the fields of poetry, painting, philosophy, and journalism are indelible. In Journey to Mount Tamalpais, her alchemical command of language is enhanced by the use of painting and drawing as exploratory tools to express that which lies beyond the reach of the written word. This volume remains one of her most beloved works and a stunning example of her marriage of the visual and literary arts. A prose essay written with the lyricism and precision of a master poet, Journey to Mount Tamalpais documents Adnan's encounter with the Mountain, as both its witness and its collaborator. This expanded second edition includes an afterword by Omar Berrada and nine new drawings by the author"--

"A hundred years ago, high on the summit of Mount Tamalpais, stood a grand lodge with a breathtaking view. For 33 years, elegantly dressed men and women came to visit on the gritty steam trains of a famous twisting railroad known affectionately as the Crookedest Railroad in the World. They could dine, dance, and spend the night, and in the morning coast down the mountain in a gravity car. The Mount Tamalpais Scenic Railway had 281 curves in 8 1/5 miles. It had a branch into Muir Woods. It was built by business-minded conservationists in seven months in 1896 and climbed from a depot on the dirt streets of Mill Valley through a redwood forest and on to the rocky summit one-half mile above San Francisco Bay"--P. [4] of cover.

"Here is a readable history of the railway's 30 years of existence -- its planning and construction, branch lines, methods of operation. Read about how it pioneered in novel equipment, watering wheels, heating feedwater in the stack, and being one of the first to use oil burning locomotives exclusively"-- book jacket.
