Ecology of Fear: Los Angeles and the Imagination of Disaster

"Vastly entertaining, prodigiously reserched, and more than a little terrifying...Ecology of Fear shows us the kind of paradise Los Angeles has been turning itself intoóa fool's paradise, a disaster in progress. The only chance for an ecology of hope, Davis says, is to be honest about the mess we're in. This book brilliantly helps us face the facts."
