Soon the Camp Fire was upon them, gobbling an acre a second. Less than two hours after the fire ignited, the town was engulfed in flames, the residents trapped in their homes and cars. By the next morning, eighty-five people were dead.</p><p>As a reporter for the <em>San Francisco Chronicle</em>, Lizzie Johnson was there as the town of Paradise burned. She saw the smoldering rubble of a historic covered bridge and the beloved Black Bear Diner and she stayed long afterward, visiting shelters, hotels, and makeshift camps. Drawing on years of on-the-ground reporting and reams of public records, including 911 calls and testimony from a grand jury investigation, Johnson provides a minute-by-minute account of the Camp Fire, following residents and first responders as they fight to save themselves and their town. We see a young mother fleeing with her newborn; a school bus full of children in search of an escape route; and a group of paramedics, patients, and nurses trapped in a cul-de-sac, fending off the fire with rakes and hoses.</p><p>In <em>Paradise,</em> Johnson documents the unfolding tragedy with empathy and nuance. But she also investigates the root causes, from runaway climate change to a deeply flawed alert system to Pacific Gas and Electrics decades-long neglect of critical infrastructure. The definitive firsthand account of the nations deadliest wildfire in a century, <em>Paradise</em> is a riveting examination of what went wrong and how to avert future tragedies.</p>...4222861Paradise230299https://www.gandhi.com.mx/paradise-9780593136393/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/3929202/fc95cdbd-2554-4ac2-a96a-5c01a12e32c0.jpg?v=638810665255670000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20219780593136393_W3siaWQiOiI4MjY5YTBhNC04OTkzLTQ2YjgtOTNhNC00ZTMwZWNkZmVjNTciLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjI4MCwiZGlzY291bnQiOjY0LCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjIxNiwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDItMDVUMDc6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9780593136393_<p><strong>The definitive firsthand account of Californias Camp Fire, the nations deadliest wildfire in a century, <em>Paradise</em> is a riveting examination of what went wrong and how to avert future tragedies as the climate crisis unfolds.</strong></p><p><strong>A tour de force story of wildfire and a terrifying look at what lies ahead.<em>San Francisco Chronicle</em> (Best Books of the Year)</strong></p><p>On November 8, 2018, the people of Paradise, California, awoke to a mottled gray sky and gusty winds.
