What expressions of care and solidarity might we find among the debris? A Paradise Built in Hell is a study of five major disasters - the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, the Halifax explosion of 1917, the Mexico City earthquake of 1985, the 9\/11 attacks and Hurricane Katrina - and the expressions of altruism, generosity and resourcefulness that emerged in the wake of these tragedies. The result is a sweeping history of some of the foundational events in the modern history of North America, and a meditation on community: challenging us to look afresh at society, and what these models of local, collaborative politics might look like carried through into everyday life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rebecca Solnit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64837503713629,"sku":"9781803511696","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1074\/9358\/9341\/files\/9781803511696.jpg?v=1780052130","url":"https:\/\/adventureintobooks.co.uk\/products\/9781803511696","provider":"Adventure Into Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
