A dangerous place : California's unsettling fate by
Marc Reisner(
Book
)
9 editions published between 2003 and 2004 in English and held by 915 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"In A Dangerous Place, Marc Reisner leads us through California's improbable history and rise from a largely desert land to the most populated state in the nation, fueled by an economic engine more productive than all of Africa. Reisner believes that the achievement of this, the last great desert civilization, hinges on California's denial of its own inescapable fate. Both the Los Angeles and San Francisco Bay areas sit astride two of the most violently seismic zones on the planet. The earthquakes that have already rocked California were, according to Reisner, mere prologues to a future cataclysm that will result in destruction of such magnitude that the only recourse will be to rebuild from the ground up. Reisner concludes A Dangerous Place with a hypothetical but chillingly realistic description of such a disaster and its horrifying after effects."--Jacket

Marc Reisner(
Recording
)
6 editions published between 1990 and 2018 in English and held by 67 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
The story of the American West is the story of a relentless quest for a precious resource: water. It is a tale of rivers diverted and dammed, of political corruptions and intrigue, of billion-dollar battles over water rights, of ecologic and economic disaster. In Cadillac Desert, Marc Reisner writes of the earliest settlers, lured by the promise of of paradise, and of the ruthless tactics employed by Los Angeles politicians and business interests to ensure the city's growth. He documents the bitter rivalry between two government giants, the Bureau of Reclamation and the US Army Corps of Engineers, in the competition to transform the West. Based on more than a decade of research, Cadillac Desert is a stunning expose

1 edition published in 1997 in English and held by 1 WorldCat member library worldwide
Fierce battles raged around the transformation of California's Central Valley from semiarid desert, where 300 Native American tribes thrived, into the most productive and environmentally altered agricultural region in history. Beginning in the 1920s, when small farms began pumping ground water, The mercy of nature illustrates the role presidents, governors, and giant agri-business companies have played in the ebb and flow of water. The program follows the recent trend in which water is diverted away from agriculture and toward cities and wildlife
