The Control Of Nature
New York New York: Farrar Straus & Giroux. Fine in Very Good Dust Jacket. 1989. First Edition: Third Printing. Hard Cover. 0374128901 . 006501: Dustjacket now protected by a new Brodart Mylar Cover. Scarce Out Of Print Book. Dustjacket is lightly worn along edges. "Some of the more expensive real estate in Los Angeles is up against mountains that are rising and disintegrating as rapidly as any in the world. After a complex coincidence of natural events boulders will flow out of these mountains like fish eggs mixed with mud sand and smaller rocks in a cascading mass known as debris flow. Plucking up trees and cars bursting through doors and windows filling up houses to their eaves debris flows threaten the lives of people living in and near Los Angeles' famous canyons. At extraordinary expense the city has built a hundred and fifty stadium-like basins in a daring effort to catch the debris. Taking us deep into these contested territories McPhee details the strategies and tactics through which people attempt to control nature. Most striking in his vivid depiction of the main contestants: nature in complex and awesome guises and those who would attempt to wrest control from her--stubborn often ingenious and always arresting characters. ": 5.75 x 8.5 in.: 272 pages . Farrar Straus & Giroux hardcover

Fradkin Philip L.
The Great Earthquake And Firestorms Of 1906 How San Francisco Nearly Destroyed Itself
Berkeley California: University Of California Press. Fine in Very Good Dust Jacket. 2005. First Printing. Hard Cover. 0520230604 . 006439: Printing Number Line 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 . Dustjacket now protected by a new Brodart Mylar Cover. Scarce Out Of Print Book. Dustjacket has small edge cut. "The first indication of the prolonged terror that followed the 1906 earthquake occurred when a ship steaming off San Francisco's Golden Gate "seemed to jump clear out of the water. " This gripping account of the earthquake the devastating firestorms that followed and the city's subsequent reconstruction vividly shows how after the shaking stopped humans not the forces of nature nearly destroyed San Francisco in a remarkable display of simple ineptitude and power politics. Bolstered by previously unpublished eyewitness accounts and photographs this definitive history of a fascinating city caught in the grip of the country's greatest urban disaster will forever change conventional understanding of an event one historian called "the very epitome of bigness. Philip Fradkin takes us onto the city's ruptured streets and into its exclusive clubs teeming hospitals and refugee camps and its Chinatown. He introduces the people--both famous and infamous--who experienced these events such as Jack and Charmian London Enrico Caruso James Phelan and Abraham Ruef. He traces the horrifying results of the mayor's illegal order to shoot-to-kill anyone suspected of a crime and he uncovers the ugliness of racism that almost led to war with Japan. He reveals how an elite oligarchy failed to serve the needs of ordinary people the heroic efforts of obscure citizens the long-lasting psychological effects and how all these events ushered in a period of unparalleled civic upheaval. This compelling look at how people and institutions function in great catastrophes demonstrates just how deeply earthquake fires hurricanes floods wars droughts or acts of terrorism can shape us.
