From the reviews: "The 1755 Lisbon Earthquake: Revisited is a collection of high-quality, selected and improved proceedings from an international conference that took place in Lisbon (2005) to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the great 1755 earthquake. ... this book puts together very interesting papers from different authors examining the 1755 Lisbon earthquake from different angles. ... This book constitutes a good piece of work for any specialist (seismologist, civil engineer, risk manager, historian, philosopher, etc.) who wishes to broaden his or her knowledge."
