Ulin\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEarthquakes are one of the great unsolved geological mysteries. Attempts to predict them have ranged from studies of California's fault lines by USGS geologists to the work of an odd assortment of psychics and apocalyptics who base their sometimes startlingly accurate forecasts on everything from changes in the earth's magnetic fields to the behavior of whales. \u003cb\u003eThe Myth of Solid Ground\u003c\/b\u003e is a journey, both personal and cultural, through the world of earthquakes and earthquake prediction, one that seeks a middle ground between science and superstition, while also looking for a larger context in which seismicity might make sense. An excellent primer on the science of seismology, \u003cb\u003eThe Myth of Solid Ground\u003c\/b\u003e looks at earthquakes as the ultimate metaphor for living with impending disaster.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDavid L.
