|a "The first shock struck Lisbon on the morning of November 1, 1755 - All Saints' Day. Several minutes later a second, far more powerful shock wracked the city, and then a third. In less than a quarter of an hour, Lisbon, one of Europe's most splendid capitals, was toppled. Then a succession of three tidal waves crashed into the waterfront and consumed thousands of the living and the dead. If that weren't enough, a generous wind fanned fires sparked by the quake, and the city burned for a full five days. Earth, water, wind, and fire had all conspired to produce a singularly hellish disaster. Lisbon wasn't so much decimated as thoroughly annihilated." "In addition to challenging conventional theological wisdom, the earthquake and Lisbon's subsequent rebuilding gave rise to a host of other fascinating developments, such as landmark social reform in Portugal, the first concerted effort at disaster control, modern urban planning, and the birth of the science of seismology." "In short, the Lisbon earthquake was no run-of-the-mill misfortune; it was the first modern disaster and a watershed event that shook the pillars of an inveterate social order and sent reverberations throughout the Western world."--BOOK JACKET.
