摘要

Here is a fine book with a timely publication date: 2005 marked the 250th anniversary of the great Lisbon earthquake. Among the many books and papers that were published about the catastrophe in 2005, in Portugal and elsewhere, Iconography of the 1755 Lisbon Earthquake stands out because of its excellent illustrations and a most readable text. Intended for readers interested in the history of geological sciences, and also for those interested in natural catastrophes that generated philosophical and theological controversies in Europe, the book commemorates the event in a truly distinctive way.
