Furious Earth by Ellen Prager
If our planet is a sleeping giant, it slumbers fitfully. Earth's fabric is shifting, creaking, and groaning. Our familiar landscape bears the scars of hidden forces at work deep beneath it. This book contains the various science on these forces and the cataclysmic phenomena they produce - earthquakes, volcanoes, and tsumanis.
'Furious Earth (McGraw-Hill, $2495), Ellen Prager looks at some of the more awesome and dangerous natural events in clear language that still manages to include up-to-date research on the how and why of earthly upheavals.' 'loaded with helpful illustrations and interesting photos in a center section.' 'anyone truly curious about the causes of natural disasters will find this book informative and interesting.'
