Krakatoa: The Day the World Exploded: August 27, 1883
by Simon Winchester
For the educated few amongst us ... (6/15/2012)
Once the 15 year-old teenagers, who can be excused for only being concerned with the "excitement" of drugs and sex, eventually grows up to (hopefully) responsible and educated adults - then maybe they will start to understand the value that a book like this adds to the enjoyment and celebration of life!
An excellent read - full of facts - but then I would rather learn something new than just read mindless novels that always seem to end the same.
A thrilling subject that expands your knowledge - thank you very much for taking the time to research it thoroughly and share it so fantastically.
