The Million Death Quake by Roger Musson
One of the world's leading seismologists looks at the dangers of megaquakes, and explains where they'll next strike, why they're becoming more lethal, and what science and engineering are doing to save lives.
'..an excellent read presenting the levelheaded detachment of an academic expert in the entertaining guise of a popular science book.' -Engineering & Technology Magazine
