Gold rushes transformed California and Australia within a few years in the
mid-19th century. Millions of Argonauts and diggers came to rip their fortune

in True Gardens of the Gods, came landscape gardeners anxious to recreate Eden
in these temples to greed. Published by University of California Press,
