ECOLOGY OF FEAR: Los Angeles and the Imagination of Disaster

signed first edition Hardcover

1998 · New York

by Davis, Mike
New York: Metropolitan Books, 1998. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Near fine. Signed by the author on the title page. In this controversial tour de force of scholarship, unsparing vision, and inspired writing, Davis (1946-2022) revisits Los Angeles as a Book of the Apocalypse theme park. By brilliantly juxtaposing L.A.'s fragile natural ecology with its disastrous environmental and social history, he compellingly shows a city deliberately put in harm's way by land developers, builders, and politicians, even as the incalculable toll of inevitable future catastrophe continues to accumulate. Octavo: 484 p. with textual illustrations. A fine copy in a near fine dust jacket with some very light edgewear. (Inventory #: 77974)
