Summary: The Panama-Pacific International Exposition, held in 1915 to celebrate the opening of the Panama Canal, was the last of the great world expositions and the most amazingly complex project ever undertaken by the people of San Francisco. Rising from the ruins of the 1906 earthquake, San Francisco proved itself the Paris of the West: a grand international metropolis, complete with the energy and bravado that had characterized the city since its inception. Drawn from the largest collections of Exposition memorabilia and photographs in the world, 'San Francisco Invites the World' is a fascinating portrait of an elegant city in its moment of glory."www.shelfari.com"
