Summary: A lucid and fascinating look at earthquakes and volcanoes.
Comment: This book provides an excellent, easy-to-understand overview of the dynamics that govern movements of the earth's crust, and of the consequences of geological instability. Clear diagrams show how global movements of the earth result in earthquakes and volcanoes. The authors illustrate the intensity of these earthquakes with accounts of major earthquakes in New Zealand, including accounts of survivors. They describe the impact of a big earthquake and a volcanic eruption in a large city. Colour and black-and-white photos show both the devastation and the physical beauty that can result from these forces. This is a great book for anyone who wants to understand earth's geological instability.
