Throughout human history earthquakes have marked themselves to be one of the most pernicious natural disasters. A single earthquake can kill tens, even hundreds of thousands of people, also causing other calamities, for example, tsunamis (a notable case of this is the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake). This book is dedicated to providing all the necessary information on earthquakes, as well as giving a valuable insight on some of the most recent and massive cases, thus being a highly informative read.
