内容简介：
Writing with a signature command of his subject and with compelling resonance, Marc Reisner leads us through California’s improbable 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 success of this 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, a mere prologue to a future cataclysm that will result in immense destruction. Concluding with a hypothetical but chillingly realistic description of what such a disaster would look like, A Dangerous Place mixes science, history, and cultural commentary in a haunting work of profound importance.

Publisher Comments :
One in two people living west of the one hundredth meridian
resides in California. Crammed into the San Francisco Bay area and
the Los Angeles basin is a population greater than that of Texas.
Both of these drought-prone regions need to import water over
improbable distances, but reliance on imported water is not their
Achilles' heel; what is, is the fact that each area sits astride
one of the most violently active seismic zones in the world. A
Dangerous Place is both a compelling chronicle of the human
eruption of development and progress that have created "the great
exception" over the last 150 years, and a history of the natural
subterranean upheavals that threaten that human achievement. It
concludes with a chillingly realistic depiction of the impact an
earthquake would have on the Hayward fault, which runs from San
Francisco to San Jose ("sixty of the most populous, industrialized,
infrastructure-dependent, economically valuable miles in the United
States").
Here is subject and writer perfectly matched, in a narrative that
harnesses fact and a gloriously inventive intellect. A Dangerous
Place is a riveting parable of a civilization's rise and fall. And
it is, as well, the coda to the brilliant career of the late Marc
Reisner.
Synopsis:
From the author "Cadillac Desert"--the acclaimed saga of water
and the American West--comes a vision of the future that California
cannot escape.
Synopsis:
"If you are anxious about the safety of American cities, this
book may give you a nervous breakdown. Reisner was an uncanny
visionary and his testament is this terrifying warning note. It is
not for the faint of heart."--Mike Davis ("City of Quartz" and
"Ecology of Fear").
Synopsis:
Writing with a signature command of his subject and with
compelling resonance, Marc Reisner leads us through California's
improbable 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 success of this 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, a mere prologue to a future cataclysm that will result
in immense destruction. Concluding with a hypothetical but
chillingly realistic de*ion of what such a disaster would look
like, A Dangerous Place mixes science, history, and cultural
commentary in a haunting work of profound importance.
From Booklist
California's vulnerability to earthquakes, although internalized
by its citizens as a dread of the Big One, seems to be virtually
ignored as developers continue to build in all directions, even
atop faults and landslide-prone mountains. This narrative by the
late author combines a history of Los Angeles' and San Francisco's
growth with a lurid scenario of what the San Francisco Bay Area
will look like after the Pacific plate lurches northward a few
feet. Reisner ends the book imagining a collapsed Bay Bridge; a
destroyed Oakland and UC-Berkeley campus; a burning Richmond; and
serial destruction of BART, highways, aqueducts, and airports. It
is likely the author planned to write a like scenario for L.A.'s
day of doom, but even so, Reisner's work of warning effectively
reminds us of the vast infrastructure required to sustain these two
megalopolises. As befits the author of Cadillac Desert (1986),
Reisner highlights the vulnerability of water supplies, a point
that will attract environmentalists to this work, as well as anyone
who just likes a scary story.
