Tsunami Warning

32 pp. | Houghton/Lorraine | April, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-0-618-73463-4 $17.00
(3) 4-6 Morrison shows how the devastation of the 1946 Hawaiian tsunami led to creation of the Seismic Sea Wave Warning System, an elaborate network of seismographs and scientists intended to track and warn of earthquakes and subsequent tsunami waves. The clear text does a good job of balancing disaster drama and scientific information. Detailed paintings and diagrams and explanatory captions aid comprehension. Bib., glos.
