The Great Central Valley Project is an exhibit and book using landscape photography to examine this dramatically human-altered agricultural heartland of California. Photographers Stephen Johnson, Robert Dawson and author Gerald Haslam assembled this work as a project of the California Academy of Sciences. The exhibit-format book was published by University of California Press in 1993.
