Description
What impact did the 1906 quake have on San Francisco society?A Crack in the Edge of the World
We will discuss A Crack in the Edge of the World, a story of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake by Simon Winchester, an award-winning historian and Oxford-trained geologist who discusses not just the physical impact of the quake, but its broader impact on the cultural and economic development of Northern California. As a reminder, this is a book discussion group. The author will NOT be present. However, Simon Winchester will speak to The Club in Lafayette on November 14.
