Abstract

In the twentieth century, earthquakes changed the lives of over one million victims forever – by smothering, suffocating, mutilating, burning or traumatizing them. The material waste that is caused by these earthquakes is considerable. These catastrophes seem to occur randomly. Should we simply see them as fatalities? By understanding the phenomena, can we possibly reduce their impact?

Abstract

Esta es la primera edición filológica de "Temblor de Lima, año de 1609, gobernando el Marqués de Montes Claros, virrey excelentísimo, y una canción real panegírica en la venida de su excelencia a estos reinos" (Lima, 1609), obra que, junto a la "Canción real" (1612) también editada aquí, constituye la producción poética de Pedro de Oña (Angol, Chile, 1570-Lima, ¿1643?) dirigida a Juan de Mendoza y Luna, virrey del Perú (1607-1615). Este corpus es una magnífica muestra de las expectativas criollas respecto del alter ego del monarca en Indias y de los medios retóricos y poéticos que la élite criolla empleó para reivindicarse a través del panegírico de la máxima autoridad virreinal.

Abstract

Elastic rebound is one of the most basic tenets of modern earthquake science, the term that scientists use to describe the build-up and release of energy along faults. It is also the best metaphor for societal responses to major earthquakes in recent historic times. After The Earth Quakes focuses on this theme, using a number of pivotal and intriguing historic earthquakes as illustration. The book concludes with a consideration of projected future losses on an increasingly urbanized planet, including the near-certainty that a future earthquake will someday claim over a million lives. This grim prediction impels us to take steps to mitigate earthquake risk, the innately human capacity for rebound notwithstanding.
