Imperial San Francisco: Urban Power, Earthly Ruin (California Studies in Critical Human Geography, 3)

Gray Brechin

4.9/5 (20276 ratings)

Description:First published in 1999, this celebrated history of San Francisco traces the exploitation of both local and distant regions by prominent families―the Hearsts, de Youngs, Spreckelses, and others―who gained power through mining, ranching, water and energy, transportation, real estate, weapons, and the mass media. The story uncovered by Gray Brechin is one of greed and ambition on an epic scale. Brechin arrives at a new way of understanding urban history as he traces the connections between environment, economy, and technology and discovers links that led, ultimately, to the creation of the atomic bomb and the nuclear arms race. In a new preface, Brechin considers the vulnerability of cities in the post-9/11 twenty-first century. The book is now available as an audiobook, narrated by Gray Brechin.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
