This is a marvelous book, a true encyclopedia of earthquakes and volcanoes. I have gotten more useful information from this book than most of them I have read about the subjects.

It contains a lot of interesting information; however, I wish it would have included more information for some sections. For example, the Kansas paragraph mentions only a single earthquake but not its Richter scale strength; it also sounds like the state has experienced other earthquakes but it doesn't mention how often this occurs or how many there were.

Wealth of information but the pictures are in black and white
