The newest in the popular "then and now" type photograph series of books by George Ross Jezek. From downtown Los Angeles to San Pedro to the San Fernando Valley, one can clearly see the phenomenal growth of this community in a little more than 100 years. Sparkling color photos of each site match vintage historical photos of the same site accompanied by historical background text. Professional photographer and author George Ross Jezek and Los Angeles historian Marc Wanamaker have created a view of the Los Angeles area that is a fascinating study of its past and present.
