This book intends to bring some answers to the following questions: Can earthquakes exist in France, where? When? How to protect oneself? A historical survey all over France reveals that earthquakes are a tangible reality in our country. Then it explains the phenomenon, its impacts, how they can be studied, simulated, modelled, and what measures can mitigate its consequences on Man and its environment. (UNEsCO)
