During the 1990s, in an effort to conserve water and provide habitat for wildlife, Susan and Dan Gottlieb began replacing the exotic ornamentals and invasive ivy in their Los Angeles garden with an assortment of native plants. This book chronicles the magnificent variety of animals that have been drawn to their garden ever since, making it a haven for researchers from UC Davis, UCLA, LMU, Cal Poly Pomona, and Occidental College. The Gottlieb Native Garden has been featured in the LA Times, NY Times, and the Associated Press, among others. Additionally, it's been photographed by National Geographic, highlighted by Huell Howser on KCET's California Green, and served as a frequent destination for various botanical organizations, including the Theodore Payne Foundation's Native Plant Garden Tour. Over the last five years, the garden's naturalist, Scott Logan, has devoted himself to documenting and photographing the wildlife in Susan and Dan's backyard. The Gottlieb Native Garden: an intimate wildlife journey reveals the astonishing range of biodiversity that's capable of thriving in our backyards - or apartment window boxes - when the right plants and habitat are established. Intended for beginning and expert gardeners alike, this book invites its readers to marvel at the phenomenal nature of our nonhuman neighbors and reconsider our connections to these miraculous creatures with whom we share our home.

The diaries of a remarkable young woman who was determined to live a meaningful and happy life despite her struggle with cystic fibrosis and a rare superbug—from age fifteen to her death at the age of twenty-five—the inspiration for the original streaming documentary Salt in My Soul “An exquisitely nuanced chronicle of a terrified but hopeful young woman whose life was beginning and ending, all at once.”—Los Angeles Times Diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at the age of three, Mallory Smith grew up to be a determined, talented young woman who inspired others even as she privately raged against her illness. Despite the daily challenges of endless medical treatments and a deep understanding that she’d never lead a normal life, Mallory was determined to “Live Happy,” a mantra she followed until her death. Mallory worked hard to make the most out of the limited time she had, graduating Phi Beta Kappa from Stanford University, becoming a cystic fibrosis advocate well known in the CF community, and embarking on a career as a professional writer. Along the way, she cultivated countless intimate friendships and ultimately found love. For more than ten years, Mallory recorded her thoughts and observations about struggles and feelings too personal to share during her life, leaving instructions for her mother to publish her work posthumously. She hoped that her writing would offer insight to those living with, or loving someone with, chronic illness. What emerges is a powerful and inspiring portrait of a brave young woman and blossoming writer who did not allow herself to be defined by disease. Her words offer comfort and hope to readers, even as she herself was facing death. Salt in My Soul is a beautifully crafted, intimate, and poignant tribute to a short life well lived—and a call for all of us to embrace our own lives as fully as possible.
