Faulting, Friction and Earthquake Mechanics (Pageoph Topical Volumes)
Faulting of the Earth's crust occurs on time scales of seconds to millions of years and involves mechanical processes operative over spatial scales ranging from 10-3m to 10-5m. Because of this vast range of spatial and temporal scales the study of earthquakes and faulting is fundamentally multidisciplinary, drawing from geologic studies of fault zone structure as well as theoretical and laboratory studies of crack mechanics. How are these different processes and time scales manifest in fault pat...
Presents various facts about earthquakes: how they happen, how they are measured, a list of the worst, and how to predict and prevent them.

Induced Seismicity Potential in Energy Technologies
by National Research Council
In the past several years, some energy technologies that inject or extract fluid from the Earth, such as oil and gas development and geothermal energy development, have been found or suspected to cause seismic events, drawing heightened public attention. Although only a very small fraction of injection and extraction activities among the hundreds of thousands of energy development sites in the United States have induced seismicity at levels noticeable to the public, understanding the potential f...
One in two people living west of the 100th meridian in the United States resides in California. Crammed into the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles Basin is a population greater than that of Texas. Both these drought-prone regions need to import water over seemingly improbably distances. Reliance on imported water, however, is not their Achilles heel; it is the fact that each sits astride one of the most violently active seismic zones in the world. This study chronicles the man-made eruption...
On April 17, 1906, San Francisco was a dense city bustling with people, and thriving businesses. On April 18, it was in ruins, the victim of a terrifying earthquake and dreadful fire. Over 170 vintage, photographs, some never published before delve into the first earthquake ever photographed. Images include photographs of various buildings and neighborhoods in the city before the earthquake and the fire, photographs of the fire as it burns through Front and Market Streets, the ruins and those le...
Landscape and Identity (Materializing Culture, v. 9)
by Wendy Joy Darby
In England, perhaps more than most places, people's engagement with the landscape is deeply felt and has often been expressed through artistic media. The popularity of walking and walking clubs perhaps provides the most compelling evidence of the important role landscape plays in people's lives. Not only is individual identity rooted in experiencing landscape, but under the multiple impacts of social fragmentation, global economic restructuring and European integration, membership in recreationa...
Did you know that there are more than 60 active volcanoes in Europe today? Or that the longest-existing lava lake is in Ethiopia? Or that Mount Stromboli off the coast of Italy has been in almost continuous eruption for the past 2000 years? Illustrated with 200 spectacular photographs, Volcano is a fascinating visual journey around the globe, selecting the most striking live and extinct volcanoes from Alaska to Antarctica, from Tanzania to Tasmania, from Kamchatka in Russia's far east to Indones...
