The Great Earthquake And Firestorms Of 1906
The first indication of the terror that followed the 1906 earthquake occurred when a ship steaming off San Francisco's Golden Gate 'seemed to jump clear out of the water'. This book offers a look at how people and institutions function in catastrophes, demonstrates just how deeply earthquake, hurricanes, wars, or acts of terrorism can shape us.
