520 1 $a"In 1906, after an earthquake wiped out much of San Francisco, leading California officials and scientists described the disaster as a one-time occurrence and assured the public that it had nothing to worry about. California Earthquakes explains how, over time, this attitude changed, and Californians came to accept earthquakes as a significant threat, as well as to understand how science and technology could reduce this threat.".
520 8 $a"Tracing the history of seismology and the rise of the regulatory state and environmental awareness, California Earthquakes examines how earthquake-hazard management came about, why some groups assisted and others fought it, and how scientists and engineers helped shape it."--BOOK JACKET.
