“Kevin Starr seems particularly well equipped to write a biography of that famous orange bridge. The author of more than half a dozen histories of California, Mr. Starr has written frequently about the myths and metaphors that festoon the Golden State, and he seems to instinctively understand the place that the Golden Gate Bridge has come to occupy in the national imagination as a symbol of American enterprise and the gateway to the Pacific. —Michiko Kakutani, New York Times.
Matthew Aid, author of The Secret Sentry, was interviewed live on Jon Wiener’s show on the 4 o’clock report on KPFK 90.7 FM (Pacifica station in LA) yesterday afternoon. Listen up!
“Powerful.” —The Economist. Read full review of Oreskes' and Conway's Merchants of Doubt.
