Earthquake! – 1906: The Destruction of San Francisco
On April 18, 1906, San Francisco was shaken awake by one of the most devastating earthquakes in U.S. history. Buildings collapsed, fires raged through the city, and thousands were left homeless. Earthquake! – 1906: The Destruction of San Francisco takes the reader back to that fateful morning— with eyewitness accounts, dramatic descriptions of the aftermath, and the heroism of ordinary people amidst the chaos. But this book is more than just a historical account of a natural disaster. It explores the science behind earthquakes:
🔹 What is an earthquake, and how does it form?
🔹 How do the constantly shifting tectonic plates work?
🔹 How are these events connected to other destructive phenomena like tsunamis?
🔹 How do scientists measure the magnitude and intensity of earthquakes, and what do these scales teach us about nature's destructive power?
With insightful illustrations, clear explanations, and an engaging narrative, Earthquake!– 1906: The Destruction of San Francisco is ideal for young adults, students, and adults interested in the forces that shape— and sometimes destroy— our planet. An unforgettable journey through science, history, and human resilience.
