Excellent book for beginner or advanced student of geology.

I am not a geology student officially but I have always loved to read about the subject and this book satisfies me on all levels. It is good for leisurely reading, and it is good for a good detailed study of the subject. The author is not a dry writing, sterilized scientist. He has a real flair for keeping the reader interested.
Good intro to geology

In addition to earthquakes, much of this reference provides a review of the Earth's geological features such as rift valleys and continental drift.
Exceptionally Interesting

This book explained everything and more about the things I ever wanted to know about eaarthquakes. I've picked this book up for my research on eathquakes, and believe me this book had everything. The facts are well presented and the best part was that this book wasn't boring at like the other informative books.
