The Earthquake Observers: Disaster Science from Lisbon to Richter Reprint edition
Deborah R. Coen
Earthquakes have taught us much about our planet's hidden structure and the forces that have shaped it. This book explains how observing networks transformed an instant of panic and confusion into a field for scientific research, turning earthquakes into natural experiments at the nexus of the physical and human sciences.
