While not specifically about the Tehachapi Mountains, this field guide documents the plants, animals, physical features and much more of the adjacent Sierra Nevada Range, so much of it is applicable to our area. With some photos and line drawings and hundreds of brief descriptions, it is a very useful and well-written guide to the natural world.

Desert Country by Bob Powers.
This is another of the many historical books the late Bob Powers of Kern Valley wrote about Kern County, and this one sheds light on the history and communities of the Mojave Desert, which comprises about a third of the county's total area. This book is easy reading and both informative and entertaining.
