Several months later I did just that. While this post is not a book review per se, let me just say that I found Mr. Culver&rsquo;s work<\/span><span style=\"color: black;\"> both entertaining and insightful. It explores the history of tourism and the ways in which southern California inspired new architectural styles and urban development patterns across the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\">If this subject intrigues you as much as it did me, you now have an opportunity to hear Mr. Culver speak about the book and his research at an event sponsored by the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sahscc.org\/site\/index.php?function=event_details&amp;id=126\" target=\"_blank\">Society of Architectural Historians \/ Southern California Chapter (SAH\/SCC)<\/a>.
