nyone who witnesses the full fury of nature can never forget it. At once ter-rifying and mesmerizing, elemental phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and storms have always inspired awe in humans.

In this thoroughly fascinating volume, authoritative writers exam-ine the geologic and meteorologic processes that shape our environ-ment. They present both a report on our understanding of nature's cata-clysmic events and an overview of the greatest natural disasters in recorded history, from the destruc-tion of Pompeii in A.D. 79 to the tor-nadoes, typhoons, earthquakes, and eruptions that make headlines today.

Nearly 200 illustrations highlight the clear, comprehensive text. Nine portfolios, featuring historical pho-tographs and firsthand accounts, reveal new information about the past's most devastating days. From recent earthquakes around the world to such long-term concerns as global warming, this book explains what happens and why. But Restless Earth is much more than a reference vol-ume; it is a spectacular, sometimes poignant, always engrossing explo-ration of a planet whose awesome powers remain untamed.
