Earthquakes (Nature's Fury)
From Library JournalGrade 4-6-Meister first presents the history of these extreme forces of nature, covering famous recent occurrences before moving on to how these disasters are predicted as well as suggestions on how to stay safe. She also distinguishes between earthquakes and tsunamis; hurricanes, cyclones, and typhoons; and the different types of volcanoes. Plenty of colorful photos and clearly labeled charts that explain more complex concepts are featured in all three selections. While this series offers little new information, Meister's conversational flow is more pleasing than the brief bullets of text found in Susanna Van Rose's Volcano and Earthquake (Knopf, 1992), though these books have fewer illustrations.Blair Christolon, Prince William Public Library System, Manassas, VACopyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc.Describes the nature and measurement of earthquakes and the devastation that they can cause on land and sea, including the giant seismic waves known as tsunamis.
