"This is a work of extraordinary originality and lucidity. It reveals the surprising fact that earthquakes, in addition to being natural phenomena, have also been eminently social constructions. Clancey offers numerous insights on the origins of technical disciplines in Japan, and manages to do so in an expository style that is as engrossing as a detective novel."--Jordan Sand, author of "House and Home in Modern Japan: Architecture, Domestic Space, and Bourgeois Culture, 1880-1930"
