About this listen
This book represents the collective expertise of 19 seasoned researchers and scientists from the California Institute of Technology, who have dedicated their careers to understanding the complex geologic and human factors that contribute to earthquake risk. Through their work, they have gained insights into the unique challenges faced by 10 high-risk countries around the world, where seismic activity is a constant threat to life, property, and infrastructure.
With this book, we hope to share our knowledge and insights with a wider audience, providing accessible explanations and engaging stories that shed light on the geologic forces that cause earthquakes and the human factors that exacerbate their impact. Our focus on 10 high-risk countries, from Turkey to Japan, provides essential information for anyone living in or traveling to areas prone to earthquakes, and offers insights into the latest scientific principles that underlie earthquake activity, as well as lessons learned from past disasters.
We would like to acknowledge the contributions of the many researchers, scientists, and experts who have dedicated their time and expertise to advancing our understanding of earthquakes and their impact on the world. We also extend our deepest sympathies to those who have been affected by earthquakes, and our commitment to working towards a safer, more secure future for all those who are at risk.
We hope that this book will inspire new insights and ideas, and contribute to a greater awareness of the ongoing threat posed by earthquakes. Through our combined efforts, we can better prepare for the next big quake and help to create a more resilient and sustainable future for our communities and our planet.
