Under the Redwoods is Hergert's fourth collection of essays, originally written for the Rossmoor News. It contains a selection of "Ad Lib" columns, followed by Hergert's 2014 book reviews. In these pages you'll read about: a misplaced medieval treasure, sadly languishing far from home; bakery goods developed by the Los Angeles Unified School District; a determined rediscovery of merguez sausages; a San Francisco church forever associated with Whoopi Goldberg; the best place to buy an almond torte; an extraordinary new seaside hiking trail south of San Francisco; a treasured grove of redwoods; and the history of the Allen wrench. First edition, with index.
