This new edition of the classic, Building with Nature: Roots of the San Francisco Bay Region Tradition, focuses on the beginnings (1865 and on) of the Bay Area shingle style and Arts & Crafts collaboration in California, and the origins of the trend toward building simple rustic homes in harmony with nature. Freudenheim explores how and why a small, influential group of Californians (including Joseph Worcester, Bernard Maybeck, Charles Keeler, William Keith, Charles Lummis, A. Page Brown, and others) - all of whom had come from the East or from England - were especially devoted to Ruskin and the Arts & Crafts style and how this combined with their dedication to California's natural beauty to create a unique architectural movement.

Freudenheim has done an enormous amount of detailed research, including letters and diaries. There are numerous explanatory notes, and an extensive bibliography. This should be very valuable to students of the movement.
One slight disappointment, surprising in 2005, is that all of the pictures are in black-and-white. A number of them are historic photographs, but not even ones especially taken for the book, including the cover shot are in color. There are some very nice shots, but color is one of the elements of design. The book itself is handsomely laid out with wide margins and clear print. ( )
