Summary, etc. Since the publication of the successful first edition of Earthquake Protection there have been 110 lethal earthquakes, killing 130 000 people; there have also been significant developments in the field of earthquake risk management, particularly in the modelling and analysis of risk for insurance and financial services. Furthermore, major earthquake disasters, such as the 1994 Northridge earthquake in California, the 1995 Kobe earthquake in Japan and the 1999 Kocaeli earthquake in Turkey have occurred. The experience and knowledge gained through these events have improved our understanding. Contents: Earthquakes, disasters and protection -- Cost of earthquakes -- Preparedness for earthquakes -- Earthquake emergency -- Recovering from earthquakes -- Strategies for earthquake protection -- Site selection and seismic hazard assessment -- Improving the earthquake resistance of buildings -- Earthquake risk modelling -- Risk mitigation in action.
