1.Krakatoa: The Day the World Exploded: August 27, 1883 (P.S.)Krakatoa: The Day the World Exploded: August 27, 1883 (P.S.)
from Harper Perennial
Price: $10.94

Customer Review:
This book is quite slow which lost me. I feel it focused far too much on island horticulture and populace. I purchased the book specifically for the eruption and post-eruption affects, and because I didn't receive that information early enough in the book, I chose to not finish it.

Price: $12.47

Customer Review:
...otherwise, this book would have been a real labour to get through.
Simon Winchester is 'thorough'. And this is good, because at the heart of everything he writes, is a story...and he's a very good storyteller. However...
However, there were times when I had to confirm the title of the... more info

3.The Doors of the Sea: Where Was God in the Tsunami?The Doors of the Sea: Where Was God in the Tsunami?
from Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company
Price: $11.20

Customer Review:
Hart is a tremendously skilled writer. Don't be put off by the reviews claiming that it is hard to read, etc, etc. It's not, really; although he certainly used "big" words fairly frequently, it shouldn't be hard for anyone who has done a fair bit of reading before this book to understand (and,... more info

4.Apocalypse: Earthquakes, Archaeology, and the Wrath of GodApocalypse: Earthquakes, Archaeology, and the Wrath of God
from Princeton University Press
Price: $17.79

Customer Review:
This book is, I regret to say, a shallow look at earthquakes. It presents and represents numerous times, the authors contention, probably valid, that archeologists don't give earthquakes enough credit for their negative effect on the ongoing civilizations affected. He also emphasizes that... more info

5.[no image]Volcano & earthquake
from Dorling Kindersley Education

Customer Review:
Now that I have discovered the series of Eyewitness Books that I once purchased for my son when he was young (Can't believe he's beginning his senior year in college!), I enjoy going over them and reflecting on the value of this series for younger readers.
It is important that our youth... more info

6.When the Mississippi Ran Backwards : Empire, Intrigue, Murder, and the New Madrid EarthquakesWhen the Mississippi Ran Backwards : Empire, Intrigue, Murder, and the New Madrid Earthquakes
from Free Press
Price: $18.48

Customer Review:
Unfortunately, this book's Title is a misnomer as it promises so much and goes backwards from there. It is as if the author were unsure - did he want to write about an historical period in time (1800 to say 1815), or about some very important events (the first steamboat down the Mississippi which... more info

from Topeka Bindery
Price: $7.09

Customer Review:
Seymour Simon's 1991 book gives an excellent and terse overview of the important ideas about earthquakes. With key terms defined simply but accurately, all accentuated by large color photographic depictions of the effects of earthquakes, Simon explains the pertinent information: what causes... more info

from Viking Adult
Price: $19.72

Customer Review:
The earthquake that hit Lisbon on 1 November 1755 shook up a lot more than its buildings and citizens. There were repercussions for science, religion, philosophy, politics, and literature. In _The Last Day: Wrath, Ruin, and Reason in the Great Lisbon Earthquake of 1755_ (Viking) Nicholas Shrady... more info
