Review: I am not a geology student officially but I have always loved to read about the subject and this book satisfies me on all levels. It is good for leisurely reading, and it is good for a good detailed study of the subject. The author is not a dry writing, sterilized scientist. He has a real flair for keeping the reader interested.

Review: This book explained everything and more about the things I ever wanted to know about eaarthquakes. I've picked this book up for my research on eathquakes, and believe me this book had everything.
