have profoundly shaped human his-
Ж.
....... ·- *
tory,
leaving us with a respect for the
mighty power of the earth —and a humbling
view of our future. Paleontologist and geologist
Donald R. Prothero tells the harrowing human
stories behind these catastrophic events.
Prothero describes in gripping detail some of
the most important natural disasters in history,
including
•
the New Madrid, Missouri, earthquakes of
1811-1812
that caused church hells to ring
in Boston
•
the
2004
Indian Ocean tsunami that killed
more than
230,000
people
•
the massive volcanic eruptions of Krakatau,
Mount
Tambora,
Mount Vesuvius, Mount St.
Helens, and
Nevado
del Ruiz
His clear and straightforward explanations of
the forces that caused these disasters accom¬
pany gut-wrenching accounts of terrifying
human experiences and a staggering loss of
human life.
Floods that wash out whole regions, earth¬
quakes that level a single country, hurricanes
that destroy everything in their path
—
all arc
here to remind us of how little control we have
over the natural world. Dramatic photographs
and eyewitness accounts recall the devastation
wrought by these events, and the people
—
both
heroes and fools
—
that are caught up in the
earth s relentless forces.
Eerie, fascinating, and often moving, these
tales of geologic history and human fortitude
and folly will stay with you long after you put
the book down.
