Alaska Science Forum: The closest people to an 8.2 earthquake

5. Thank you.

I originally read On Shaky Ground in 1989, the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday quake. More recently I ordered it on line because my paperback version was falling apart. The morning it arrived, I woke up to NPR talking about a massive quake in Japan. What? There had been a quake the day before. What were they talking about?

It was March 11, 2011. The massive earthquake and resulting tsunami. How amazing.

I just spent some time looking in my bookshelf, and cannot find my copy of On Shaky Ground, which is disturbing. I know exactly where it should be, but it's not there. That book is simply the best earthquake book I have ever read, and I'd recommend it to everyone. Perhaps I need to purchase another copy.,
