Sorry, I reached for the bold face icon and hit publish. Apologize for any typos and grammatical issues due to lack of proofing! The last book is Simon Winchester's Krakatoa from 2003. Winchester is a prolific writer, and some of his books have been disappointing, but Krakatoa about the 1883 explosion of an island in Indonesia is a brilliant blend of the history of the event and the geology behind it. Reading this book prepared me to understand the great tsunami that struck this same area at the end of 2004.
