In the last class of my course on #environmentalhistory #conenvhist, I discuss disasters and human intervention/role in causing them and role in re-constructing the environment. Discussion will concern #LisbonEarthquake and Lydia Barnett's gorgeous book #AftertheFlood - #histsci #histenvironment

The 1755 Lisbon earthquake transformed philosophy, politics, and urban planning.

Another sizeable earthquake in Lisbon, reported as a 4.7. Thankfully only quick - unllike the one last summer - but felt my whole apartment move quite violently.

Scared the daylights out of the poor roofers working on the roof above my apartment! 😨

Nothing I love more than being woken up at 5:10am by a 5.9 earthquake, when you live in older building which currently has a huge construction crane directly above it with 6000kg of counterweight on a 35m boom arm 😬
