The 1755 earthquake and tsunami were influential not only in
Portugal but in all European and North African countries where the
devastating effects were felt. The entire world was deeply
impressed and the discussion of its causes generated a large amount
of scientific and metaphysical speculation. It inspired
philosophers, poets and writers. The socio-economic consequences of
the event were great and affected the future organization and
development of Portugal. The possibility of a similar occurence
urges society and the scientific community to reflect on its
lessons. Audience This work is of interest to experts in
seismology, earthquake engineering, civil protection, urban
planning and it is a reference book for doctoral students.
