"The main merit of the volume is to harmonize the voice of its 56 contributors, who basically all agree not to underestimate the seismic danger, anywhere in the world, and to promote more prudential models such as the NDSHA at a time when safety codes earthquakes all over the world are still anchored to obsolete and therefore dangerous systems. The hidden message of the book is to continue to study what is underground, to better prepare life on the surface." --Giulio Breglia "The reading of this text will therefore offer food for thought to the researcher, the technician, and the enthusiast because it combines the rigorous scientific research of the sector with its applications in human environments, pausing to discuss concepts such as probability, risk and reliability that are so much in use but often little explained. This volume will be a unique opportunity for all readers, geologists, engineers or simple enthusiasts to learn about a subject that by its multidisciplinary nature is known in its many aspects only by experts." --Giovanna Vessia "The editors of the volume Giuliano F. Panza, Vladimir G. Kossobokov, Efraim Laor and benedetto De Vivo, have done an excellent job in presenting the innovative essay of the NDSHA. The reader will find a useful handbook to clarify the advantages of a scenario-based approach for determining the seismic hazard to increase the safety of people, buildings, and infrastructures. Some parts of the methodology such as the modeling the block-and-fault structure dynamics with application to studying seismicity and the morpho-structural zoning for identifying earthquake-prone areas may be difficult to be digested by the geological community; nevertheless, it is a useful stimulus to move forward to a new paradigm for seismic hazard analysis. This is the unavoidable base for any further improvement of seismic risk reduction. In summary, this book is an excellent reference that should be readily handy on the shelf of every practicing seismologist and seismic engineer. In the hands of an experienced instructor, the book will also serve students as a great textbook." --Carlo Doglioni
