From the publisher:
The "shadow" of the Golden Gate ecosystem referred to in the title is the Golden Gate itself, the various beaches of San Francisco and San Francisco Bay, the Marin Headlands, the California Delta, the Farallon Islands, the lakes of Golden Gate Park, and the tidal marshes of Oakland.
The book is the story of Bay Area bird conservation and natural history but also a kind of travel guide to these areas. And since the birds are photographed in public locations, the book is also an invitation to explore and see these birds.
The text by Hannah Hindley teases out the book's themes and connects the photographs gracefully with the awe and beauty of these birds, the interdependence of our relationship with them in the Bay Area, and the fascinating natural history and conservation history in which they are a part.
