Notes

(T)his paper comment(s) on several interrelated themes: 1 . The environmental uniqueness of California in North America and the scarcity of similar areas elsewhere; 2. The late settlement of the area as compared to central Chile, the only climatic analogue in the Americas; 3. The reasons for California's deep sleep, that period of 160 years in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries when the region, although discovered, lay completely ignored and abandoned by Europeans, to be followed by a period of unprecedented acceleration in the historic process; and finally 4. The identification of a decisive moment when - California came to a strategic crossroads, and a speculative scenario of what might have happened had a royal command been obeyed.
