Reviews

'A History of Persian Earthquakes …[is] used by seismologists, engineers and tectonic geologists. It is an extraordinary work of scholarship and absolutely iconic, setting a standard in this area of research that has not … been equalled since … This is an invaluable core of knowledge and scholarship, and it is a great achievement to render it accessible in a single volume … Cambridge should be congratulated for publishing this book; such should be the purpose of an academic publisher. This book will never go out of demand …' Geological Magazine
