Pick of the Week

A crack in the edge of the world : America and the great California earthquake of 1906
by: Simon Winchester
Winchester's recounting of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake is dense with facts but light and breezy in style. Full of both geological history and personal anecdotes, the book explains the longstanding dangers of the San Andreas Fault and the long-term consequences of the earthquake it caused.
Pamunkey Regional Library has this title in CD talking book, Playaway talking book and in print.
