The Great Quake: How the Biggest Earthquake in North America Changed Our Understanding of the Planet by Henry Fountain

3.0

Interesting and well-written book on an earthquake I'd never heard of, but was one of the largest known earthquakes in the world ... Alaska 1964, which introduces you to folks most impacted by the earthquake as well as a man whose study of it lead to important findings regarding plate tectonics.
