  Most people equate Los Angeles with smog, sprawl, forty suburbs in search of a city - the great what not to do of twentieth-century city building. This book explores the environmental history of greater Los Angeles. It contains essays, by leading geologists and ecologists, that consider the changing dynamics both of the city and of nature.
