New York, New York: Farrar Straus & Giroux. Fine in Very Good Dust Jacket. Date: 1989. First Edition: Third Printing. Hard Cover. 272 pages: 5.75 x 8.5 in.: 1.4: KB#006501: Dustjacket now protected by a new Brodart Mylar Cover. Scarce, Out Of Print, Book. Dustjacket is lightly worn along edges. "Some of the more expensive real estate in Los Angeles is up against mountains that are rising and disintegrating as rapidly as any in the world. After a complex coincidence of natural events, boulders will flow out of these mountains like fish eggs, mixed with mud, sand, and smaller rocks in a cascading mass known as debris flow. Plucking up trees and cars, bursting through doors and windows, filling up houses to their eaves, debris flows threaten the lives of people living in and near Los Angeles' famous canyons. At extraordinary expense the city has built a hundred and fifty stadium-like basins in a daring effort to catch the debris. Taking us deep into these contested territories, McPhee details the strategies and tactics through which people attempt to control nature. Most striking in his vivid depiction of the main contestants: nature in complex and awesome guises, and those who would attempt to wrest control from her--stubborn, often ingenious, and always arresting characters.

From the Dust Jacket: "When John McPhee was working on his previous book, RISING FROM THE PLAINS, he happened to walk by the engineering building at the University of Wyoming, where words etched in limestone said: 'Strive On -- the Control of Nature is Won, Not Given.' In the morning sunlight, that central phrase -- 'the control of nature' -- seemed to sparkle with unintended ambiguity. Bilateral, symmetrical, it could with equal speed travel in opposite directions. For some years, he had been planning a book about places in the world where people have been engaged in all-out battles with nature, about (in the words of the book itself) 'any struggle against natural forces -- heroic or venal, rash or well advised -- when human beings conscript themselves to fight against the earth, to take what is not given, to rout the destroying enemy, to surround the base of Mt. Olympus demanding and expecting the surrender of the Gods.' His interest had first been sparked ...
