The University of Chicago Press After a California Earthquake Attitude and
Book SynopsisShortly before the Loma Prieta earthquake devastated areas of Northern California in 1989, Risa Palm and her associates had surveyed 2,500 homeowners in the area about their perception of risk from earthquakes. After the quake they surveyed the homeowners again and found that their perception of risk had increased but that most respondents were fatalistic and continued to ignore self-protective measures; those who personally experienced damage were more likely to buy insurance. A rare opportunity to analyze behavior change directly before and after a natural disaster, this survey has implications for policy makers, insurance officials, and those concerned with risk management.

WW Norton & Co Gumbo Life Tales from the Roux Bayou
Book SynopsisA sprightly, deeply personal narrative about how gumbo—for 250 years a Cajun and Creole secret—has become one of the world’s most beloved dishes.Trade Review"When Ken Wells was editor at the Wall Street Journal, he glanced round the newsroom and observed: ‘I’m the only one in here who knows how to skin a squirrel.’ There’s no recipe for squirrel gumbo in this mouthwatering culinary memoir, but there is a vivid account of Wells’ languid bayou childhood and the history and personalities who seasoned it. There could be no better guide to this unique American subculture than Bonnie’s boy from Bayou Black." -- Geraldine Brooks, author of March and People of the Book"Ken Wells was to the gumbo born. Enhancing that felicitous beginning, he has traveled the Gumbo Belt researching, recording, and—most importantly—savoring the myriad interpretations of the iconic Louisiana soup. He even has recipes, including two of my favorites. (I’m not telling which ones!) Like a dense, flavorful gumbo filled with tastes of the region, this is a book to savor." -- Jessica Harris, author of High on the Hog: A Culinary Journey from Africa to America"Ken Wells knows gumbo, and from whence it comes. And gumbo, and its sources, are profoundly tasty things to know." -- Roy Blount Jr., author of Save Room for Pie"A piquant history of gumbo… This is required reading for gumbo aficionados and addicts, and those who aspire to be." -- Publishers Weekly"Affectionate portrait of that favorite Cajun comfort food and the tradition from which it came. . . . [A] gently spun tale with a few recipes that foodies will want to test immediately. A tasty treat." -- Kirkus Reviews"Wells has meticulously traced [gumbo’s] influences, and he has visited a host of eateries to find every sort of variation on gumbo, from the most high-toned French Quarter restaurants to the celebrated historic precincts of Leah Chase’s iconic diner. . . . Anyone fondly recalling gumbo in its myriad guises will find plenty to savor here." -- Booklist

Book Synopsis“Romantic, urgent, valuable and appealing as hell.” —Andrew McCarthy, New York Times Book ReviewTrade Review"Northland… [has] that touch of jump and sparkle that every good travelogue needs." -- Peter Lewis - Christian Science Monitor"Part adventure, some history, and a little bit Studs Terkel, filled with encounters with people as diverse as the landscape." -- Jon Foro - Amazon Book Review"Fox is an excellent guide, capturing the majesty of the Northland’s diverse geology, flora, weather and seasons." -- Peter Geye - Minneapolis Star Tribune"In a time when no borders should be ignored—when ICE and ice are indifferent to human lives—a travelogue like Fox’s, freighted with history and hope, blood and bone and snow, is all the more important." -- B. David Zarley, Paste magazine"Fox’s borderland journal offers a poignant reminder of the shared history of two nations and the contentious nature of the border line." -- Laurence A. Marschall - Natural History"Deeply researched [and] beautifully written.… [Fox is] a hell of a writer, and Northland paints a vivid portrait of the Canadian border." -- Tom Bie, Drake magazine"Fox is an amiable, entertaining guide to the past and present of this porous, rugged border with Canada.… [Northland is] an engaging travel memoir that highlights the lives of those who dwell on our northern edge." -- Bruce Jacobs - Shelf Awareness"[Fox is] adept at… capturing the natural beauty and ancient landscapes of the borderlands.… [His] travels uncover a secret: this largely ignored border is key to the U.S. economy… and it will loom large if and when America’s more easily accessible natural resources become depleted." -- Publishers Weekly"In this sweeping account of the northern boundary of the U.S., Fox… moves seamlessly between geologic and human time scales.… He narrates his own travels with keen observation, attuned to the special details that set each place apart, and speaks to fascinating people along the way who have shaped their lives, in one way or another, around the border.… Although this boundary line is, for the most part, invisible, Fox finds that it still leaves an indelible mark on the places and people it touches." -- Booklist"Richly populated with fascinating northlanders, Native Americans, and many border patrol agents, this is highly entertaining and informative travel literature." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Visiting dozens of towns, the America they saw is acutely conscious of its problems—from economic dislocation to the opioid scourge—but it is also crafting solutions, with a practical-minded determination at dramatic odds with the bitter paralysis of national politics. At times of dysfunction on a national level, reform possibilities have often arisen from the local level. The Fallowses describe America in the middle of one of these creative waves.
