Very Excellent Book.

I read this book because I took a class about earthquakes taught by the auther Dr. David Brumbaugh. He is not only an awesome teacher, but he knows his stuff. The book is very detailed without getting too difficult to understand. The book talks not only about the physics of an earthquake , but also the history and culteral myths sourounding earthquakes. The book is a great book to buy if you want have a great understanding about earthquakes. The author teaches at Northern University Arizona, so if you are there TAKE THE CLASS AND BUY THIS BOOK!
