<p>Today San Diego is America's eighth largest city, but before becoming this it was largely an agricultural area that boasted wide-open spaces, rolling hills and mountainous inclines, nearby desert beauty and of course, the expansive Pacific Ocean with its many beaches. This book invites you to explore a pictorial history of what San Diego once was and what it has become. Tour the seaside communities, its downtown sector, its valleys and suburbs and gain a perspective of the impact that time has made upon this spectacular city. Professional photographer, and San Diego native, George Ross Jezek has assembled a visual tour for you as seen through archival photographs set against those same vantage points taken through his own lens. The comparison is not only telling and insightful; it provides a narrative of its own.</p>
