ABOUT MIKE'S WORK
Mike Davis is an historian whose writings span a range of urban, political, environmental, and social issues.
Davis merges academic scholarship and journalistic critical commentary into writing that is inspiring, informative, and provocative. His book, City of Quartz: Excavating the Future in Los Angeles (1992) is an accessible history of Los Angeles that combines academic reportage, ethnography, and investigative journalism.

He is also the author of Ecology of Fear: Los Angeles and the Imagination of Disaster (1999), Magical Urbanism: Latinos Reinvent the US Big City 2000 (2000), Late Victorian Holocausts: El Niño Families and the Making of the Third World (2002), and Dead Cities and Other Tales (2002).
