AUTHOR THANKS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Climate map data adapted from Peel MC, Finlayson Andrew Bender BL & McMahon TA (2007) ‘Updated World Map of the Suki Gear, Cliff Wilkinson, Alison Lyall, Hilary Angel, Köppen-Geiger Climate Classification’, Hydrology and Juan Flores, Joe Timko, Sarah Weinberg, Suzi Dennett Earth System Sciences, 11, 163344. and the good folks at the SPP Help Desk. Cover photograph: Manhattan beach and pier at Adam Skolnick sunset, Rick Frohne Landscape Photographer/Getty Los Angeles is a city I love, full of people I love. LA is home. Still, it’s never easy to dissect your own back- yard, mostly because you usually don’t know what you’re missing. So thanks to Alma Lauer, Trisha Cole, Jessica Ritz, Nina Gregory, Burton Breznick, Tchaiko Omawale, Dan Cohn, Angel Payne, Christine Lazzaro, Liebe Geft, the folks at the Wende Museum, Michael McDowell, Alex Capriotti, and John Moore. Thanks also to all those wild seals, sea lions, dolphins and whales that keep us entertained in the water, and to the Lonely Planet staff and my cohorts Sara Benson and Andy Bender. 487
