Helpful Score: 1
Marc Reisner has a writing style that keeps the reader riveted from sentence to sentence. This book is about his homeland, California. The book discusses California's lack of water and its earthquakes, and then concludes to show what will happens when an earthquake disrupts the precious flow of water to the huge desert metropolis in Southern California. Lots of great history on the state.
I consider Reisner's previous book, Cadillac Desert, the best book I've ever read, and this later book does not disappoint. If you like 19th and 20th century western history, you'll love this one.
