During earthquakes that destroyed Christchurch (New Zaland) the city’s Mayor, Bob Parker, inspired its people similarly to the way in which New York’s Mayor, Rudi Giuliani, did after 9/11.

Parker’s story is a text book of how to cope with catastrophe.

A riveting read, goes behind the scenes and vividly describes living through hundreds of quakes and the bravery and heroism of the city’s people.
