Oakland, Hub of the West

''Oakland, Hub of the West'' is a 1981 history book about the city of Oakland, California written by David Ollier Weber and published by Continental Heritage Press. It is now out of print. The historical photographs were edited by Thomas Edward Curran III, a museum researcher at the Oakland Museum of California. The current photographs were by Peter Menzel, whose work appears in ''National Geographic'', ''Wired'', ''The Atlantic'', ''Mother Jones'' and the ''Boston Globe''.
==Pre-human history==

Comprising seven chapters, the book begins with a look not just at the Ohlone or Huchiun Indians who populated "the eastern shores of San Francisco Bay for at least 3,500 years before the coming of the first white man,"〔Oakland, Hub of the West, p. 12〕 it reaches back five billion years to when the planet was still, in Weber's words, a "sizzling swirl of gravity and molten rock." This look at the geology from the Mesozoic, Cretaceous, Cenozoic, Oligocene, Miocene and Pleistocene epochs provides insight into Oakland's signature geologic formations. Mount Diablo to the East, the unique redwood forests that persist on its hills today, and the San Andreas and Hayward faults that bracket the San Francisco Bay all laid the groundwork for a territory ideal for human societies from the first Indians to today's ethnically diverse〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bay Area Census -- City of Oakland )〕 cultural and technological hub.〔''Oakland, Hub of the West'', pp. 12-13〕
According to Weber, the historical record of early Indian civilization shows that Oakland was always well-suited for civilization: "Careful excavation of the two largest of over 400 Ohlone shell mounds inventoried along the perimeter of San Francisco Bay in 1908 revealed a people who early recognized the tremendous natural bounty offered them in Oakland's hills, canyons and lush salt marshes."〔''Oakland, Hub of the West'', p. 19〕
