Despite its short-term drama and immediate impact on people's lives, the 1906 earthquake and fire did not transform the history of San Francisco. Instead, San Franciscans rapidly incorporated the crisis into pre-existing debates about urban ecology, urban development, and social relations in the city. In the modern era, Americans have generally viewed 'natural' disasters as anomalous, exceptional events. Interpreting disasters as unpredictable 'acts of nature' that represent a disruption of ordinary life has justified a failure to adequately plan for disasters and concealed the ways in which social factors such as poverty play as much of a role in causing disasters as the geological or meteorological events that precipitate crises. By applying these insights to a close study of San Francisco's 1906 earthquake, including the decades leading up to the disaster and the city's recovery in the years after 1906, this project demonstrates how disaster and recovery became integrated into San Francisco's history, rather than transforming the city, and makes an important contribution to the interdisciplinary field of natural disaster studies"--Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Making land, making a city -- Catastrophe and its interpretations -- Bread lines and earthquake cottages -- Rebuilding and the politics of place -- Disaster capitalism in the streets -- Plague, rats, and undesirable nature -- Symbolic recovery and the legacies of disaster -- Note on archival sources. 611 27 $a San Francisco Earthquake and Fire (California : 1906) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01710058 651 0 $a San Francisco (Calif.) $x History $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a San Francisco (Calif.) $x Social conditions $y 20th century. 650 0 $a San Francisco Earthquake and Fire, Calif., 1906. 650 0 $a Earthquakes $x History $z San Francisco $z San Francisco $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Natural disasters $x History $z San Francisco $z San Francisco $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Earthquakes $x History $z San Francisco $z San Francisco $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Natural disasters $x History $z San Francisco $z San Francisco $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Urban ecology (Sociology) $z San Francisco $z San Francisco $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a Earthquakes $x Environmental aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00900908 650 7 $a Earthquakes $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00900935 650 7 $a Ecology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00901476 650 7 $a Natural disasters $x Environmental aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01033998 650 7 $a Natural disasters $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01034021 650 7 $a Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919811 650 7 $a Urban ecology (Sociology) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01733718 651 7 $a California. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204928 651 7 $a California $z San Francisco. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204481 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Dyl, Joanna Leslie, 1973- $t Seismic city. $b 1st edition. $d Seattle : University of Washington Press, 2017 $z 9780295742472 $w (DLC) 2017012222 830 0 $a Weyerhaeuser environmental book. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20201203012648.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=27A42CD8D98A11E78F813B5397128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
