Catalogue of Violent and Destructive Earthquakes in the Philippines

Miguel Saderra Masó

For three centuries the Philippines shook, and Father Maso kept the record. His catalog lists the violent and destructive earthquakes from 1599 to 1909, tracing where the ground broke and what it toppled across the islands and the Marianas. A pioneering work of historical seismology. For readers fascinated by the long memory of a restless earth.
