    <![CDATA[  Writing with a signature command of his subject and with compelling resonance,   Marc Reisner leads us through California’s improbable 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 success of this   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, a mere prologue to a   future cataclysm that will result in immense destruction. Concluding with a   hypothetical but chillingly realistic description of what such a disaster would   look like, <em>A Dangerous Place</em> mixes science, history, and cultural   commentary in a haunting work of profound importance.]]>

    <![CDATA[If environmentalists ever get around to building a hall of fame, Dave Hall ought to be up for early induction. Hall, the hero of <strong>Game Wars</strong>, is the Dirty Harry of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service whose goal in life is to stop poachers dead in their tracks and who doesn't mind blowing away a few bad guys to do it. (Mind you, we're not talking about the backwoods denizen who bags a deer off-season now and again, but an organized underground economy that may soon drive the alligator extinct for its skin, the walrus extinct for its ivory.) Marc Reisner's account of Hall's dangerous exploits is as thrilling, and infinitely more satisfying on those rare occasions when the hero wins, than any movie chase scene.]]>

    <![CDATA[<p>Overtapped Oasis analyzes the West's water allocation system from top to bottom and offers dozens of revolutionary proposals for increased efficiency and policy reform. Marc Reisner and Sarah Bates argue that the West's underlying problem is not a shortage of water but the inefficient use of it, a problem caused by a bewildering tangle of federal subsidy programs, restrictive state water codes, anachronistic irrigation practices and - perhaps most important - resistance to reform.</p>]]>
