Get the book!
Get this book because it is a real guide.I checked it out at the library first to see if it was something that I really wanted.I would advise the same thing to you as well.I know for sure the Los Angeles County Library System has the book.I would assume all library systems in CA have at least 3 copies of the book circulating around.You are going to want to buy it so you can make lots of notes and to go back to use as reference, especially for the legal parts.

Helpful, but opinionated
Alot of helpful information, especially for the people that are just getting into homeschooling and starting from scratch.Although it is a very helpful guide, I wish the author kept some of her opinions and comments to herself.

Product Description
In the beginning of the New-making, the ancient fathers lived successively in four caves in the Four fold-containing-earth. The first was of sooty blackness, black as a chimney at night time; the second, dark as the night in the stormy season; the third, like a valley in starlight; the fourth, with a light like the dawning. Then they came up in the night-shine into the World of Knowing and Seeing.

So runs the Zuni myth, and it typifies well the mental development, insight, and beauty of speech of the Indian tribes along the Pacific Coast, from those of Alaska in the far-away Northland, with half of life spent in actual darkness and more than half in the struggle for existence against the cold and the storms loosed by fatal curiosity from the bear's bag of bitter, icy winds, to the exquisite imagery of the Zunis and other desert tribes, on their sunny plains in the Southland.

Product Description
From the educational space of UC Berkeley to a one-room library in Silverado Canyon, this tour of thirty-two California libraries explores the sense of space and unique atmosphere a structure can provide. Dividing California into eight distinct regions including the northern California coast, the San Francisco Bay area, Los Angeles County, and San Diego county, the work looks at a sampling of libraries from each area, discussing the surroundings, facilities and physical presentation of each building. Chosen libraries reflect the communities they serve as well as their particular missions. Entries include contact information for the selected library, a website address, and information regarding its size, circulation and the extent of its collection. Photographs of the libraries are also included. ... Read more

Product Description
This report focuses on three crucial questions about resources in California's K-12 schools: 1. How do resources—measured in terms of class size, curriculum, and teachers' education, credentials, and experience—vary among schools?
2. Do schools serving relatively disadvantaged populations tend to receive fewer resources?
3. Do existing inequalities in school resources contribute to unequal student outcomes? The findings of the study have a strong bearing on education issues in California, and the authors offer a number of policy recommendations. ... Read more
