The Great Quake: How the Biggest Earthquake in North America Changed Our Understanding of the Planet by Henry Fountain in its style and approach reminds me of Erik Larson's work. With eyewitness accounts, interviews, scientific information, and a narrative story-telling approach, this book makes for an engrossing and entertaining scientific history the Alaskan earthquake that gave credence and credibility to the theory of plate tectonics.
