An excellent book. Here's the most currently relevant chapter, updated after the Paradise fire, for those who want a sample:

I think this should be required reading for every incoming freshman in the country.

Was it this or Quartz City that Bill got a lot of The Bridge Trilogy LA from? Quartz I think?

City of Quartz.

Both great books. Wish he was around to write more.

Ecology of Fear is such a thought-provoking read, especially for understanding the challenges LA faces. Mike Davis had an incredible way of capturing the city’s complexities. Perfect timing to revisit it.

How does that compare with “City of Quartz?”

Both excellent, Ecology pertaining more to environmental situations.

I had the same question, thanks Jack!

My 2019 interview with Mike Davis about fires, Malibu and the Paradise fire comes out next Wednesday on Radio Ecoshock.
