One of the most powerful and savage force of nature, the giant wave, or tsunami, has always affected coastal areas of the world. But the natural disasters of December 26, 2004 around the Indian Ocean and particularly in Indonesia, and the March 16, 2011 in Fukushima, Japan, brought tsunamis into world consciousness.
In this short book, Sommers describes the phenomenon of tsunami and presents incredible stories of survival. A historical view of tsunamis is also explored, and ways to predict the appearance of this giant wave are discussed.
Anyone interested in natural disasters and survivor stories will enjoy this book.
