Book Reviews of Furious Earth: The Science and Nature of Earthquakes, Volcanoes, and Tsunamis

Book Review: An excellent introduction to the earths furious forces
Summary: 5 Stars

Having developed an interest in earth sciences, yet having no educational background in the subjects, I was looking for a book that explained, in an easy, yet informative manner, these natural forces that i am fascinated with.

This book was perfect.

Laid out in 3 section (earthquakes, volcanoes & tsunamis), it gives thorough introductions and explanations to each phenomenon, giving specific examples of each, for reference. Even the format is perfect, being non-text-bookish, I was able to read it on my train journeys to and from work.

After reading this book I feel far more knowledgable and am inspired to officially study this fascinating subject.
