What began as a shipping pier quickly morphed into the home of the colorful and fabled Santa Cruz Italian fishing colony. In its most recent iteration, the wharf serves as the primary destination for upward of four million annual visitors to Santa Cruz County. Since the time of the California Gold Rush in the late 1840s, there have been six wharves, or wooden piers, along the Santa Cruz waterfront, providing critical links for the local community to regional and global markets. The Santa Cruz Wharf, and all the 4,528 wooden piles that compose it, provides both external and internal vistas not found anywhere on land and is a place for contemplation, reflection, and quietude.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51377938104543,"sku":"9781540201638","price":34.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/nkNrI6y7BZ9781540201638.webp?v=1789243629"},{"product_id":"the-lies-of-sarah-palin-the-untold-story-behind-her-relentless-quest-for-power-paperback","title":"The Lies of Sarah Palin: The Untold Story Behind Her Relentless Quest for Power - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Lies of Sarah Palin, \u003c\/i\u003e Geoffrey Dunn provides the first full-scale and in-depth political biography of the controversial Republican vice-presidential candidate and former governor of Alaska. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBased on more than two-hundred interviews---many of them with Republican colleagues and one-time political allies of Palin's---and more than forty-thousand pages of uncovered documents, Dunn chronicles Palin's troubling penchant for duplicity in grim detail, from her dysfunctional childhood in Wasilla through her contentious run for mayor and her failed governorship of Alaska.
