Wellington was only a fledgling settlement of some 3,000 people when it was struck by a cluster of devastating earthquakes in 1848. Now the authoritative text on this event, this scientific and historic account explains the cause of the earthquakes, the geological aftermath, the quakes' impact on early British settlers, and predictions of larger movements along the Wellington Fault in New Zealand's future making it a compelling read for science and history buffs alike.
