“在A Dangerous Place中,Marc Reisner带领我们回顾了加利福尼亚不可思议的历史,看它如何依靠产出超越整个非洲大陆的强劲经济引擎,从大片沙漠荒原崛起为全美人口最多的州。Reisner认为,这一最后伟大的沙漠文明之所以能够建立,正是源于加州对其无法逃避的宿命的选择性忽视。Los Angeles与San Francisco Bay地区均跨坐于全球地质运动最剧烈的两处地震带之上。在Reisner看来,那些曾经震颤加州的地震,只不过是未来某场特大灾变(cataclysm)的序幕而已……”

  • 去读读马克·赖斯纳(Marc Reisner)的《危险之地》(A Dangerous Place)吧,书中设想了旧金山湾区另一大主要断层系统——海沃德断层(Hayward Fault)发生大地震的超震撼场景。https://www.worldcat.org/title/dangerous-place-californias-u... 它的……

  • 建议你找来读读约翰·麦克菲(John McPhee)的《控制自然》(The Control of Nature)、布莱恩·哈登(Blaine Harden)的《失去的河流》(A River Lost),以及马克·赖斯纳的《卡迪拉克沙漠》(Cadillac Desert)和《危险之地》,任意一本或全读都行。

  • 不光是农业用地,还有加州水利工程和渡槽,它们既供给洛杉矶也供给南加州的农业。马克·赖斯纳的书《危险之地》探讨了海沃德断层(就是沿着旧金山湾东部海岸线延伸的那条断层)发生大地震的设想,其核心主题之一就是加州三角洲的大规模堤防溃决,而且……

    Not just ag land, but the California Water Project and Aqueduct, which feeds both Los Angeles and SoCal agriculture. One of the major themes of Mark Reisner's book A Dangerous Place, which explores the scenario of a major Hayward Fault earthquake (that's the fault running along the San Francisco Bay's eastern shoreline) would be massive levee failures in the California Delta, and…

  • ……7 级相当于加州有记录以来一些最大地震的规模,包括 1906 年的旧金山大地震。这会在震中 100 多英里范围内造成广泛破坏。马克·赖斯纳在《危险之地》(2003)中详细描述了海沃德断层发生 7 级地震的影响,由于对三角洲和中央……的依赖,影响将远远超出该地区本身,波及南加州。

    …7 is the scale of some of the largest quakes recorded in California, including the 1906 San Francisco quake. This would create widespread damage within 100+ miles of the epicentre. Marc Reisner's A Dangerous Place (2003) includes a detailed description of impacts of a mag 7 quake along the Hayward fault, which would extend well beyond the immediate region into Southern California due to reliance on delta and Central…
