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

4.0

I enjoyed this technical and informative story of the great Alaskan earthquake: what happened geologically, what happened to the victims, who researched the aftermath, the state of the field before the quake. It is well-written and descriptive, successfully illustrating the magnitude of this thing and explaining the impact it made on our understanding of earthquakes.
