Book Description
Winner of the Book Prize of the Forum for the History of Science in America from the History of
Science Society 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. Carl-Henry Geschwind tells the
story of the small group of scientists and engineers who―in tension with real estate speculators
and other pro-growth forces, private and public―developed the scientific and political
infrastructure necessary to implement greater earthquake awareness. Through their political
connections, these reformers succeeded in building a state apparatus in which regulators could
work together with scientists and engineers to reduce earthquake hazards. Geschwind details the
conflicts among scientists and engineers about how best to reduce these risks, and he outlines the
dramatic twentieth-century advances in our understanding of earthquakes―their causes and how
we can try to prepare for them. Tracing the history of seismology and the rise of the regulatory
state and of environmental awareness, California Earthquakes tells how earthquake-hazard
management came about, why some groups assisted and others fought it, and how scientists and
engineers helped shape it.
