"Today, advanced technology is enabling us to drill, measure, monitor, sample, and image the Earth and its motions as never before, dramatically improving our scientific understanding of these powerful forces. Furious Earth reveals what scientists have learned about earthquakes, volcanoes, and tsunamis, how we are trying to prevent disaster, and what mysteries still remain."--BOOK JACKET.

First sentence: Throughout the Earth's history, volcanoes have spewed fire, earthquakes have shaken and ripped apart the land, and towering tsunamis have crashed onto the shore.
