EAN: 9781101904084
New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice - A riveting narrative about the biggest earthquake in North American recorded history--the 1964 Alaska earthquake that demolished the city of Valdez and swept away the island village of Chenega--and the geologist who hunted for clues to explain how and why it took place.
At 5:36 p.m. on March 27, 1964, a magnitude 9.2. earthquake--the second most powerful in world history--struck the young state of Alaska. The violent shaking, followed by massive tsunamis, devastated the southern half of the state and killed more than 130 people. A day later, George Plafker, a geologist with the U.S. Geological Survey, arrived to investigate. His fascinating scientific detective work in the months that followed helped confirm the then-controversial theory of plate tectonics. In a compelling tale about the almost unimaginable brute
