Great for understanding the future of California

This is a very well written book, with a survey of over 10,000 people that he has intereviewed snice 1998, so it is timely and appears very accurate.He goes on to talk much about the changing landscape in CA in such areas as politics; how minorities are changing the face of CA and that in the future the Hispanic nationality will be the major group in CA. He also talks specifically about the state as a whole and the various ways that people have tried to divide up CA. I have been born and raised in the Northern part of this state and agree 100% with what he states, that the state could be divided right around the San Luis Obisop/Fresno County line with a North California and a South California because the two areas are so different.
