Because earthquake science is so new, it has rarely been presented outside of technical journals that are all but opaque to nonspecialists. Earthshaking Science changes all this. It tackles the issues at the forefront of modern seismology in a way most readers can understand. In it, an expert conveys not only the facts, but the passion and excitement associated with research at the frontiers of this fascinating field. Susan Hough proves, beyond a doubt, that this passion and excitement is more accessible than one might think.
This is the first book to really make sense of the dizzying array of information that has emerged in recent decades about earthquakes.
