Books mentioned, in the order they came up

A Paradise Built in Hell
A Paradise Built in Hell by Rebecca Solnit is a striking non-fiction book examining disaster sociology that argues communities naturally respond to crises with extraordinary generosity, cooperation, and mutual aid rather than descending into panic or selfishness.
Recommended“Instead, the very opposite occurred in her masterpiece, A Paradise Built in Hell. Rebecca Snit tells the story of Miss Anna Amelia Wholehouser, a middle-aged woman whose home wound up in the path of the fire.”
