Title: An interesting history of a tramatic event
Review: This is another excellent book by Winchester who does wonderful geological history. Krakatoa was a cataclysmic natural disaster that affected the world. Its seismic effects were felt across the world. There was plenty of warning across the world and most of it went ignored but when it exploded the response was immediate. The island was completely swallowed and the implications are well outlined. As with all Wincheser books the general effects of a volcano are outlined. Occasionally it does wonder off topic but it mostly stays on track and does an excellent job relating to the main topic.
