Book
Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The most terrifying and destructive volcanic cataclysm in modern recorded history took place in August 1883, when a series of incredibly powerful detonations destroyed the landmark island of Krakatoa, in the Sunda Strait, five miles off the western tip of Java. The impact of the explosions was utterly destructive in the immediate region, destorying 200 Javan villages and 40,000 people. The explosions had a dramatic effect that was felt and heard for thousands of miles, over fully ten per cent of the earth's surface - in central Australia, in East Africa, in India and in China. Ships sailing as far away as the Red Sea were covered with thick volcanic ash and immense rafts of pumice, some big enough to support trees and animals, floated in the seas clear across to Africa. Even more amazingly, the explosions were experienced around the whole world - by way of a substantial ten year burst of global warming - by the brilliance of sunsets and by the presence of fine suspended ash in the air. Using contemporaneous reports, this text recounts the events that led up to the cataclysm, as well as those occurring immediately after. Above all, Simon Winchester writes about how the Americans, English, Chinese and Dutch - and also the Javanese and Sumatrans to whom this land belonged - dealt with the unforgettable events of the day that their world exploded. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Book First Edition
Cloth. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. Ex-library with ex-library markings. Couple of tiny marks to D/J. from removal of old label. On 27 August 1883 the most terrifying volcanic eruption occurred on the island of Krakatoa, five muiles off the western tip of Java. The island was destroyed and almost 40,000 people were killed. The impact was truly global: ships sailing in the Red Sea were covered in ash; barometers went haywire in Washington; the seas were disturbed in Devon; stunning sunsets burned over London; immense rafts of pumice floated to Africa. In his wonderfully engaging and inimitable style, the author brings to life the drama, the people and the science behind this iconic event. He explains how Krakatoa is the key to answerinf our questions about why mountains explode, how life begins and what happens beneath the earth's surface; and hence why the word 'Krakatoa' has become embedded in the consciousness of the modern world. The world shifted, geologically, politically and socially on 27 August 1883. The recent completion of the global telegraph cable meant that, for the first time in history, an event on one side of the world could be communicated to the other within just a few hours. And there would be further, and even more far-reaching effects; the destruction wrought by this volcano would become the catalyst to a dramatic and bloody uprising of the region's Muslim community against their Western colonial masters. The author's book is the first to truly explain the eruption of Krakatoa. Bursting with anecdote, dramatic eyewitness accounts, illustrations of everything from tidal waves to pepper plants and with a wonderful cast of characters, this book is an informed and brillinatly vivid tale of science and high drama. It is the story of man's destruction and his ultimate survival. Illustrated. 432 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
