Raging Planet: quakes and volcanoes and the tectonic threat to life on Earth - Bill McGuire
A gripping analysis of the global tectonic instability that puts living things at risk from some of Nature's most powerful forces. Stunning on-the-spot photographs of volcanoes and earthquakes, together with graphics and charts, highlight the facts, figures and disaster zones. Answers the questions you need to know:
· Where are the danger zones?
· How much warning will we have?
· How likely are we to experience a catastrophic event in our lifetimes?
These and other urgent questions are addressed in this fascinating journey to the centre of the Earth by leading volcanologist Bill McGuire, director of the Benfield UCL Hazard Research Centre in London, and one of the world's foremost authorities on global tectonic hazards.
