Title: The California Bungalow Explained
Review: If you are looking for a big picture book of Golden State houses from the period between the turn of the century and the depresssion, this is not it. While the book is profusely illustrated with drawings and photographs, both from the period and from the late seventies when it was written, the real heart of the book is in the very readable text. Prof. Winter does not completely treat the form the California Bungalow in isolation, but considers at east some of the ways in which it responded to the climate, economic and social as well as physical, thta prevailed when these houses (and other buildings, schools and churches come for in for particular mention) were built. One of the "fun" bits of the book are the advertising poems and songs Prof. Winter includes at the ends of many of the chapters.
