The Santa Monica Pier embodies a compelling saga of resilience—battling forces of nature and political currents, adapting through evolving times. More than a tourist attraction, it has become a tangible slice of history, embodying the spirit of resilience and adaptation that defines California.
With a poignant foreword penned by Robert Redford, a champion of the pier’s preservation efforts during the tumultuous, Harris’s new edition stands as a definitive compendium of the pier's rich history and cultural significance.
