The lives of millions will be changed after it breaks, and yet so few people understand it, or even realize it runs through their backyard. Dvorak reveals the San Andreas Fault's fascinating history - and its volatile future. It is a prominent geological feature that is almost impossible to see unless you know where to look. Hundreds of thousands of people drive across it every day. The San Andreas Fault is everywhere - and primed for a colossal quake. For decades scientists have warned that such a sudden shifting of the Earth's crust is inevitable.

Revisado: 02-12-22
This book had my spouse and I riveted. Having grown up in CA, it made us want to revisit many of the places in the book so that we can follow along with the narrator as he explains the natural features and processes.
The author goes into great detail on the personalities of the early scientists studying the fault. I didn’t expect to be so entertained by these often highly unusual characters. But the book never gets bogged down with too many details or segues. It stays cohesive throughout.
As to the science, the author manages to keep it simple enough that those who are not familiar with earthquakes or California’s geography would have no trouble understanding. For those who are more familiar though, there is still plenty of interesting information and ample examples down to very detailed, local levels.
Great book and great narration.
