New York. 2003. February 2003. Pantheon Books. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0679420118. 185 pages. hardcover. Cover: Jerry McMillan. keywords: California History America Nature Ecology Environment. FROM THE PUBLISHER - In A Dangerous Place, Marc Reisner leads us through California's improbable history and rise from a largely desert land to the most populated state in the nation, fueled by an economic engine more productive than all of Africa. Reisner believes that the achievement of this, the last great desert civilization, hinges on California's denial of its own inescapable fate. Both the Los Angeles and San Francisco Bay areas sit astride two of the most violently seismic zones on the planet. The earthquakes that have already rocked California were, according to Reisner, mere prologues to a future cataclysm that will result in destruction of such magnitude that the only recourse will be to rebuild from the ground up. Reisner concludes A Dangerous Place with a hypothetical but chillingly realistic description of such a disaster and its horrifying after effects. inventory #33540 ISBN: 0679420118.
