California (a History)"A California classic . . . California, it should be remembered, was very much the wild west, having to wait until 1850 before it could force its way into statehood. so what tamed it? Mr. Starr's answer is a combination of great men, great ideas and great projects." The Economist From the age of exploration to the age of Arnold, the Golden State's premier historian distills the entire sweep of California's history into one splendid volume. Kevin Starr

"A California classic . . . California, it should be remembered, was very much the wild west, having to wait until 1850 before it could force its way into statehood. so what tamed it? Mr. Starr's answer is a combination of great men, great ideas and great projects."--The Economist

From the age of exploration to the age of Arnold, the Golden State's premier historian distills the entire sweep of California's history into one splendid volume. Kevin Starr covers it all: Spain's conquest of the native peoples of California in the early sixteenth century and the chain of missions that helped that country exert control over the upper part of the territory; the discovery of gold in January 1848; the incredible wealth of the Big Four railroad tycoons; the devastating San Francisco earthquake of 1906; the emergence of Hollywood as the world's entertainment capital and of Silicon Valley as the center of high-tech research and development; the role of labor, both organized and migrant, in key industries from agriculture to aerospace. In a rapid-fire epic of discovery, innovation, catastrophe, and triumph, Starr gathers together everything that is most important, most fascinating, and most revealing about our greatest state.

Supportive and true to size
Size: 34G, Color: Beige - Unlined
I really like the quality and fit of this bra. My only complaint is that there is no padding at all so I have to be careful if it's cold.

Cooling and Sleek Feel
Size: 42D, Color: Glaze Purple - Unlined
Fits true to size. A little snug at first but the fabric eases up and relaxes as you wear it. And that’s true for the cups too. It loses its firm hold as you wear it. Don’t size up if it’s tight at first. For summer, its a very cooling lightweight sling. The fabric is sleek, smooth and cooling. (Not peached or padded) Doesnt offer much lift or shaping, but good enough for cooling comfort.

Won’t buy again. Unfortunately.
Size: 38F, Color: Beige - Unlined
The bra its self is comfortable. But it didn’t hold up. I wore it a few times a week since I got it and now hardly two months later the underwire is stabbing me.

Skims dupe
Size: 34DD, Color: Black- Unlined
This bra is amazing. It fits perfectly and is super comfortable throughout the day, providing great support without excessive padding. I’ve had this bra for a while now and have had no issues, and no wires are sticking out on the sides which tend to be a common issue after long wear of a bra, but not with this one I think it’s a great skims dupe

Perfect everyday bra
Size: 38D, Color: Beige - Unlined
This is by far the most comfortable everyday bra I’ve ever worn! The fabric is soft and breathable, offering just the right amount of support without feeling constricting. It’s perfect for all-day wear, and I barely notice it’s on. The fit is spot on, and I love that it’s simple yet functional for everyday use. It holds up well after washing too, keeping its shape and comfort. If you’re looking for a bra that combines comfort and practicality, this one is a winner!
