Frederick Thomas has a BS in Physics and a PhD in Science Education. He has done graduate work in geophysics and has 30+ years of experience teaching physics, astronomy and math at the secondary school and introductory college levels. His teaching experience includes 2 years each in Ghana and Australia, as well as shorter experiences in several other countries. Robert Chaney, Professor of Mathematics at Sinclair Community College, has collaborated with Dr. Thomas for over 20 years in the development of curriculum materials and hardware and in providing in-service workshops for high school and college faculty. Richard Tseng, PhD, PE, specializes in soil dynamics, focusing on the behavior of soil in relation to earthquake and liquefaction potential. He has performed soil studies for buildings, bridges, highways, airports, earth dams, and transmission and communications towers for over 40 years. He recently semi-retired as Chief Geotechnical Engineer with Bowser-Morner, Inc.

| Summary: | This book is a concise introduction to the interactions between earthquakes and human-built structures (buildings, dams, bridges, power plants, pipelines and more). It focuses on the ways in which these interactions illustrate the application of basic physics principles and concepts, including inertia, force, shear, energy, acceleration, elasticity, friction and stability.
