"""It is a comprehensive collection, which will serve as a useful guide for instructors, graduate students and practicing engineers."" - MCEER Information Service News, July/Aug. 2004 ""This encyclopaedic volume edited by the two well-respected experts Vitelmo Bertero and Yousef Bozorgnia provides a wide ranging account of advances in earthquake engineering, The organization of the book is logical and well thought out. The wealth of information contained in the book is unequalled."" Intended for instructors, graduate students, and practicing engineers, this volume edited by Bozorgnia and Bertero is undoubtedly a valuable addition to the earthquake risk published literature. The sections at the end of each chapter outlining future challenges are inspiring and will indeed help to stimulate future developments. Bozorgnia and Bertero excel in editing the huge volume and set their book ahead of the competition from other -multi-author books in earthquake engineering by meticulously planning the contents and adhering to a near-common format. The book is an essential read for engineers and geophysicists interested in earthquake risk."" -- Journal of Earthquake Engineering, Vol. 8, No. 6 (2004) 963-964, November 2004."
