"The Great Quake explains how one of North America's worst recent natural disasters led to a fascinating insight. Henry Fountain offers a gripping tale of loss, heroism and, ultimately, discovery." - Elizabeth Kolbert, Pulitzer Prize-winning author. "Henry Fountain knows earthquakes, and he knows how to spin a yarn. The Great Quake is the fascinating result. It takes meticulous research and real narrative skill to tell a story that moves this fast yet still feles so complete. The book shines on two levels: as a portraint of two quirky frontier communities before, during and after a stunning disaster, and as the story of an unpretentious geologist whose brilliant analysis of the great quake's causes provided crucial backing for one of the biggest ideas in all of science." - Dan Fagin, Pulitzer Prize-winning author. "For five terrifying minutes in 1964, the earth shook beneath Anchorage, Alaska. It devastated the city and towns and villages throughout the state. In this fast paced, engaging account of that disaster, Henry Fountain tells us what it was like to be there. His interviews with fortunate survivors bear witness to the pluck and determination of the human spirit - and reveal the better side of our nature in times of crisis." - Virginia Morell, author. "Riveting. Science journalism at its best - lucid, clear, engaging and authoritative. My hands were shaking after reading his description of the havoc and raw fury unleashed by Mother Nature in a 9.0 earthquake." - Michio Kaku, professor of theoretical physics and bestselling author. "In the bestselling tradition of Erik Larson's Isaac's Storm, The Great Quake is 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 US 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 force of nature, New York Times science journalist Henry Fountain brings the quake and its aftermath to life in vivid detail. With deep, on-the-ground reporting from Alaska, often in the company of George Plafker, Fountain shows how the earthquake left its mark on the land and its people - and on science." - from the inner front jacket flap.
