Artist, poet and naturalist Obi Kaufmann brings his best-selling “California Field Atlas” to the South Lake Tahoe Library on Feb. 27 at 6pm.

Lavishly illustrated with hundreds of hand-painted maps and wildlife renderings and based on his decades of walking the backcountry of California, Kaufmann’s “California Field Atlas” is a testimony to the natural world of the Golden State, unlike anything that has come before. Full of character and color, the “California Field Atlas” has quickly become a new classic, being hailed as a “gorgeously illustrated compendium” that “…will provide you with a greater appreciation for the state’s ecological jewels and landmarks.”

Kaufmann will be presenting the book with a Q&A session and then offer signed copies for sale.

The talk is free.
