Special Commemorative EditionWhen Michele Zack’s lavishly illustrated Altadena Between Wilderness and City appeared in 2004, State Librarian historian Kevin Starr called it “urban history at its best,” Zack won the prestigious Pfleuger Award for history writing, and the book topped Vroman’s best-seller list in history — narrowly beating Howard Zinn’s The People’s History of the United States. This 2025 hardcover edition features enhanced photographs, an updated author’s note, and post-Eaton fire images. Zack will be in conversation her old friend, Altadena born novelist Michelle Huneven, who has set three novels there. Zack and Huneven, neighbors, both lost homes in the Eaton Fire.
