In this extraordinary book, Mike Davis unravels the secret political history of disaster, real and imaginary, in Southern California. From killer bees to earthquakes to racial hostility, Ecology of Fear is an essential portrait of America at the millennium. `If Davis takes a darkling view of the Californian dream, there is nothing dim or dull about his book. His great strengths are a vigorous prose style . . . a provocative thesis . . . and a dizzying catalogue of delicious, and sometimes frightening, facts' New York Times `Davis is a wonderful writer . . .
