The Berkeley Public Library has published on its website, Berkeley, A City in History. For a free book, it's remarkably thorough. The only noticeable lack are photos and illustrations.
One thing I'm fascinated by is how decisions made over 100 years ago resonate today. This is particularly clear in Chapter 3, "Enter the Octopus," about the laying of railroad in Berkeley. Among the passages is:
He was the major developer of the community of Lorin, which once boasted a train station located at Adeline Street and Alcatraz Avenue. And I read that, thinking, "The Ashby BART Station!"
It's a reminder that what we do today will often have an impact on what comes long after us.
