Title: Interesting Subject Killed With Minutiae
Review: I really enjoy books that describe the 'bigger picture' that frame individual events. But this book is so far down that road that it lost the main event of the title. Honestly, knowing the construction of transoceanic telegraph cable or knowing if Wallace or Darwin was first to realize evolution theory is way more than I need to know to understand the context of devastating volcanic eruptions. When I finally got to Krakatoa blowing up, this same obsessive detailing detracted from the real power and horror of this terrible event. If you chose to read this, skip to the final third of the book....you'll be a lot more satisfied.
