The million death quake : the science of predicting Earth's deadliest natural disaster / by Musson, Roger.(CARDINAL)683184;
"People have weeks of warning prior to volcanic eruptions, days of warning before a blizzard, and hours of warning before tornadoes. But there is still no warning system at all for earthquakes, though they have killed millions, and millions more live in constant danger from them. In The Million Death Quake, British Geological Survey seismologist Roger Musson takes us on a riveting journey through earthquakes. After making plain the science behind quakes, he tackles how engineers are fighting to make our cities "earthquake-proof" and seismologists are searching for the sign hidden in nature that could be interpreted as a warning. Highlighting hotspots around the world from Bucharest to the Azores, and with the massive Haiti & Japan earthquakes still in recent memory, this is a fascinating exploration of the strangest and most violent of natural disasters"--

Quakeland : on the road to America's next devastating earthquake / by Miles, Kathryn,1974-author.(CARDINAL)495046;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 341-350) and index.Land made for you and me. Their campsite, our core ; A beautiful place for an earthquake ; Coffee in Salt Lake ; Our floating world ; Cold storage -- A wealth of water and rock. Dam busting with Sensurround G-forces! ; The Big Muddy ; Thank God for FedEx ; The Lucky Friday mine ; Digging back East ; Our ingenious wells ; The earthquake fighters of Oklahoma ; Tank farms on the prairie ; Cool stuff to store in mines -- The voice of rage and ruin.

You need to worry about them only if you're in San Francisco, right? Wrong. We have been making enormous changes to subterranean America, and Mother Earth, as always, has been making some of her own. . . . The consequences for our real estate, our civil engineering, and our communities will be huge because they will include earthquakes most of us do not expect and cannot imagine - at least not without reading Quakeland. Kathryn Miles descends into mines in the Northwest, visits the South to see what the Army Corps of Engineers in Memphis is learning about the next major US quake, uncovers the horrific risks of an earthquake in the Northeast, and interviews the people around the country who are addressing this ground shaking threat.
