Více o knize
Exploring California's transformation from a desert to a bustling state, the narrative delves into the paradox of its prosperity juxtaposed with the looming threat of seismic disasters. Reisner argues that the region's success is built on a denial of its geological vulnerabilities, particularly in the Los Angeles and San Francisco Bay areas. The book culminates in a vivid, speculative depiction of the catastrophic consequences of future earthquakes, blending science, history, and cultural insights to emphasize the urgent need for awareness and preparedness.
