Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fire Insurance Development on the Pacific Coast It is doubtful whether any business has had a greater influence upon the industrial growth of the Pacific Coast, and San Francisco in particular, than that of fire underwriting. As an example: Had it not been for the insurance indemnity afforded the community of San Francisco at the time of the 1906 conflagration, the great metropolis of the West might have been wiped out. never to be reconstructed. From the ashes, dust and ruins, insurance restored the baker, the butcher and the tailor. Figuratively, it put each and every line of endeavor "on its feet" again. So. over the entire Pacific Coast, the extension of fire coverage has been the business savior and stabilizer. Inasmuch as fire underwriting has been so prominently interlinked with the history of the West, the growth of fire insurance practices on the Pacific Coast has been flavored with that color and picturesqueness that have marked the development of this section of the country. "East is East, and West is West, and ne'er the twain shall meet," said Rudyard Kipling, world-renowned author. From its inception, fire underwriting development on this Coast has been distinctively different from the growth of the business in Eastern centers. Even today the business is conducted in the East - the Eastern way; in the West - the Western way. Perhaps because "East is East, and West is West" (although Kipling had in mind the Orient and the Occident). The foregoing is our introduction to the following chapters devoted to the history of fire underwriting on the Pacific Coast.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing concerns about climate change and the increasing occurrence of ever more devastating natural disasters in some parts of the world and their consequences for human life, not only in the immediately affected regions, but for all of us, have increased our desire to learn more about disaster experiences in the past. How did disaster experiences impact on the development of modern sciences in the early modern era? Why did religion continue to play such an important role in the encounter with disasters, despite the strong trend towards secularization in the modern world? What was the political role of disasters? Historical Disasters in Context illustrates how past societies coped with a threatening environment, how societies changed in response to disaster experiences, and how disaster experiences were processed and communicated, both locally and globally. Particular emphasis is put on the realms of science, religion, and politics. International case studies demonstrate that while there are huge differences across cultures in the way people and societies responded to disasters, there are also many commonalities and interactions between different cultures that have the potential to alter the ways people prepare for and react to disasters in future. To explain these relationships and highlight their significance is the purpose of this volume.
