Sinopse

Wellington Earthquakes explores the profound influence of seismic events on Wellington, New Zealand, examining how they've shaped its history, infrastructure, and resilience. The book reveals how the city's identity has been forged through its repeated encounters with earthquakes, spurring innovations in building techniques and disaster preparedness. Wellington, situated in a seismically active region, offers valuable lessons for urban environments worldwide. For example, the 1855 Wairarapa earthquake dramatically altered the landscape, raising parts of the coastline and impacting settlement patterns.

 
Beginning with the geological setting of Wellington and the tectonic forces at play, the book analyzes major earthquakes like the 1848 Marlborough earthquake, detailing the extent of damage and the immediate responses. It progresses to examining the evolution of earthquake engineering and building codes, integrating historical narratives with scientific data from newspaper reports, government records, and personal accounts.

 
The book uniquely combines historical narrative with scientific analysis and concludes by assessing Wellington’s current preparedness measures and identifying areas for improvement, emphasizing practical steps for enhancing community resilience and seismic preparedness.

Herring - A History of the...

Mike Smylie

The story of herring is entwined in the history of commercial fishing. For over two millennia, herring has been commercially caught and its importance to the coastal peoples of Britain cannot be measured. At one point tens of thousands were involved in the catching, processing and sale of herring. They followed the shoals around the coast from Stornoway to Penzance and many towns on Britain's east coast grew rich on the backs of the 'silver darlings'.
Fishing historian Mike Smylie looks at the effects of herring on the people who caught them, their unique ways of life, the superstitions of the fisher folk, their boats and the communities who lived for the silver darlings.
With a wealth of illustrations, this fascinating book reveals the little-known history of the herring. And for those who've neglected the silver darlings for lesser fish such as cod and haddock, there are a number of mouth-watering recipes to try.
