Ecology of Fear - (Essential Mike Davis) by Mike Davis (Paperback)

This book, "Ecology of Fear," is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of Los Angeles' urban ecology and its place in America's cultural fantasies.

With a bold political and environmental vision, the author, Mike Davis, sheds light on the city's deliberate construction in harm's way by land developers, builders, and politicians, despite the incalculable toll of inevitable future catastrophes.
