Above all, this innovative volume breaks new ground by gathering specialists from the fields of geology and archaeology in an attempt to shed some new light onto the effects of earthquake disasters on Cretan Bronze Age (hereafter Minoan) society. Stemming from the workshop 'Out of rubble: Interdisciplinary perspectives on Minoan earthquakes' (Leuven, November 2012),1 this collection represents a major advance in the field of archaeoseismology by addressing key issues in methodology and presenting new evidence and fresh interpretations of specific case studies. [...] If this discipline is ""still in its infancy"" (p. 393), as the editors admit, this book anticipates its imminent coming of age.Vassilis Petrakis, Bryn Mawr Classical Review, 6 July 2018 * Bryn Mawr Classical Review * The editors are to be warmly congratulated for bringing together a great set of specialists, and to produce a transdisciplinary collection that breaks refreshingly new ground in the archaeoseismology field. The impressive breadth and depth of this volume is testimony to how far the field has progressed in the past two decades. This volume deserves to be read widely by earthquake scientists and archaeologists, for the significance of its messages extends far beyond the Minoan arena. Prof. Iain Stewart, Plymouth University
