Brian F. Atwater, Musumi-Rokkaku Satoko, Satake Kenji, Tsuji Yoshinobu, Ueda Kazue, and David K. Yamaguchi pooled their backgrounds in geology, geophysics, forestry, history, and language.
"The relevance of this history to our present-day situation is
underscored. This book about the ‘big one’ of long ago should be of
special interest to all of us right now."
*History Link*
"A meticulous and comprehensive piece of scholarship that both
draws on the authors’ groundbreaking research and pulls together
hundreds of references on the topic. . . . The text is highly
readable and requires no special expertise, only a scientific
curiosity and a willingness to participate in the assembly of
discovery."
*Oregon Historical Quarterly*
"Paddling around the salt marshes and tidal flats of Washington
State, Atwater discovered evidence of earthquakes and giant waves
of a magnitude that seemed, to many, inconceivable—until late last
year, when a tsunami of similar power tore across the Indian Ocean
killing more than 200,000."
*Time Magazine, naming Brian Atwater one of the world’s 100 most
influential people of 2005*
