The Wonder Book of Volcanoes and Earthquakes
Edwin James Houston
When Krakatoa exploded in 1883 it was heard thousands of miles away and darkened skies around the globe. Edwin Houston opens with that catastrophe, then tours the world's volcanoes and earthquakes, explaining the forces that build and shake the earth. Dramatic science for the general reader. Feel the ground move in a book about the planet's fury.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
