Big Sur embodies much of what has defined California since the midtwentieth century. A remote, inaccessible, and undeveloped pastoral landscape until 1937, Big Sur quickly became a cultural symbol of California and the West, as well as a home to the ultrawealthy. This transformation was due in part to writers and artists such as Robinson Jeffers and Ansel Adams, who created an enduring mystique for this coastline. But Big Surs prized coastline is also the product of the pioneering efforts of residents and Monterey County officials who forged a collaborative public/private preservation model for Big Sur that foreshadowed the shape of California coastal preservation in the twentyfirst century. Big Surs wellpreserved vistas and highend real estate situate this coastline between American ideals of development and the wild. It is a space that challenges the way most Americans think of nature, of peoples relationship to nature, and of what in fact makes a place wild. This book highlights todays intricate and ambiguous intersections of class, the environment, and economic development through the lens of an iconic California landscape.
