Early Earthquakes of the Americas
Editorial Reviews
Review
'... a very companionable initiation into the complexities of teasing out meaningful information on early earthquake experience in the Western Hemisphere. It will serve as a stimulus for anyone who is interested in, and prepared to tackle, the difficult challenges of unravelling the earthquake past in the particular and special circumstances of the Americas.' Geoscientist
'... entertaining, intellectually satisfying, and certainly not short on factual and physical detail.' James F. Ni, New Mexico State University
'The book is of interest not only to seismologists, but also to those interested in the early history of those regions.' Journal of Seismology
Book Description
There is emerging interest among researchers from various subject areas in understanding the interplay of earthquake and volcanic occurrences, archaeology and history through the discipline of archaeoseismology. This book focuses on the historical earthquakes of North and South America, and describes the effects of those earthquakes, using illustrated examples of recent structural damage at archaeological sites.
