Who Knew College Could Be This Funny? In his quest to show what campus life was really like for the pioneering undergrads of Chico State University's Golden Age, our courageous author takes us on a trip to that crazy age between the 60s and 80s -- the rollicking 1970s. You remember those days, don't you? Not quite free love, lots of rock 'n' roll, drugs of the innocent and not-so-innocent type and the absolute feeling that all was right with the world. This book captivates its readers with astute, amusing and downright hilarious moments in the day in the life of a Chico State Wildcat. Where else can you party with your profs, skinny-dip between class and coast through stop signs on your bike with only a nominal risk of winding up on somebody's windshield? Based on a compilation of past columns from several Northern California weeklies including a stint as ace cub reporter for his college newspaper, C L Smith invites us along on his migration from Southern California to the quaint college town of Chico, California. After college, he finally ditches his shorts, tee-shirts and flip-flops and assumes the identity of a bona fide bon vivant as the editor of the Santa Cruz Good Times. Later, C L Smith was the marketing wizard who introduced several iconic advertising campaigns of the 80s, 90s and early 2000s. And, if you think Smith's college years were funny, wait till you join him for a walk on the wild side of American business in the advertising and wireless worlds.

In the tradition of monumental Magnum books, this publication brings together an eclectic assortment of work by the finest photographers of our time, capturing a riveting and seductive series of fleeting moments around the world. For half a century, Magnum photographers - through countless commissions and their own personal work - have produced images that comment on the state of the world. In photographing the landscape they are not just spectators but participants, aware that the land itself has been shaped by man, and that the very notion of a landscape depends on a human viewpoint. As each photographer records and interprets a diversity of subject matter to form a unique personal style, the variations on this theme are endless - landscapes of war, of agriculture, of industry, of cities and motorways, of desolation, celebration and tranquillity. The photographs assimilated in this book invite us to rediscover landscape, and urge us to think more profoundly not only about planet earth in its entirety, but about our own place in it.
