Yet throughout these changes Davis remained the same in many ways, among them its efforts to retain a small town character and a vital downtown. |

Contributor Bio(s): Lofland, John: - Author and historian John Lofland, professor emeritus at UC Davis, specializes in the sociology of local history and historic preservation. In this volume he examines Davis history as the story of several different communities, each a reinvention of its old self in response to a changing nation and world, but with enduring themes that made each undeniably Davis. |
