Fault Lines: Understanding the Power of Earthquakes

Seismologist Johanna Wagstaffe explores earthquakes through her own work studying the ground beneath people’s feet. The book explains the science behind the Earth’s rumbling and includes accounts from children around the world who have lived through earthquakes. It also addresses tsunamis and emergency preparedness. Personal stories and photographs accompany this examination of earthquakes as a powerful natural force, bringing together scientific explanation with experiences of both wonder and fear.
