Exploring the Chinese contribution to Californian society, approximately 1,100 entries list sites of historical or cultural significance. The book is arranged by region and by county, with sites listed in alphabetical order. Special attention is drawn to place names, street orientation, the cemetery and Feng Shui, the Hollywood Walk of Fame, levels of official recognition, Ch'ing Ming, the Tree of Heaven, and the changing of names or the naming of unnamed places. McDannold taught geography for over 25 years, and has served as president of the Chinese Historical Society of Southern California. Annotation c.
