Story
Earthquakes, floods, tsunamis, hurricanes, volcanoes - they stem from the same forces that give our planet life. Earthquakes give us natural springs; volcanoes produce fertile soil. It is only when these forces exceed our ability to withstand them that they become disasters. Together they have shaped our cities and their architecture; elevated leaders and toppled governments; influenced the way we think, feel, fight, unite, and pray. The history of natural disasters is a history of ourselves.

This was truly excellent. Very good story structure, excellent mix of narrative, history, science, personal experience, and relation to modern policy and events. I really reccomend this book.

fantastic duo of books and audiobooks. Science can get squiffy, but it's worth the ride.
