New Madrid Earthquakes Revised Edition covers the history of the region's earthquakes from the winter of 1811-1812, then on the western fringe of the young country, to the present time. Twelve million people now reside in the area that suffered the greatest shocks in the most devastating earthquakes in the nation's history. There is a much better understanding today of the extent to which the region stands at risk, and this will doubtlessly quicken interest in contingency planning.
