Book Description: Penguin Putnam Inc, United States, 2005. Paperback. Book Condition: New. Reprint. 195 x 133 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. Earthquakes are one of the great unsolved geological mysteries. Attempts to predict them have ranged from studies of California's fault lines by USGS geologists to the work of an odd assortment of psychics and apocalyptics who base their sometimes startlingly accurate forecasts on everything from changes in the earth's magnetic fields to the behavior of whales. "The Myth of Solid Ground" is a journey, both personal and cultural, through the world of earthquakes and earthquake prediction, one that seeks a middle ground between science and superstition, while also looking for a larger context in which seismicity might make sense. An excellent primer on the science of seismology, "The Myth of Solid Ground" looks at earthquakes as the ultimate metaphor for living with impending disaster. Bookseller Inventory # AAC9780143035251
