Excellent account of the natural history of Point Loma and the natural resources or the area. I loved that it focused on natural history and impacts as opposed to just the history of the area. Purchased in the visitor center of Cabrillo National Monument.

Interesting look at the natural elements of Point Loma, the vegetation, the animals, the marine life, the history. It is not a page turner, but it is very informative.
