Summary
Blending history, science and eye-witness accounts, and arranged in chapters corresponding to the four elements (earth, air, fire and water), Hamblyn explores the relationship between the planet and its humans. With the Lisbon earthquake of 1755, the weather-panics of the summer of 1783, the eruption of Krakatau in 1883, and the Hilo tsunami of 1946, he reminds us of the earth's unimaginable force and describes what happens when that force is unleashed. 2009
