2003ref. vot721New York: HarperCollinsPublishers 2003. First U. S. Edition. Signed by the Author. Octavo hardcover slick full-color illustrated boards xvi 416 pp. Fine in a Fine dust jacket. From dust jacket: The bestselling author of The Professor and the Madman and The Map That Changed the World examines the enduring and world-changing effect of the catastrophic eruption off the coast of Java of the earth’s most dangerous volcano -- Krakatoa. The legendary annihilation in 18•3 of the volcano-island of Krakatoa -- the name has since has since become a byword for a cataclysmic disaster -- was followed by an immense tsunami that killed nearly forty thousand people. Beyond the purely physical horrors of an event that has only very recently been properly understood the eruption changed the world in more ways than could possibly be imagined. Dust swirled round the planet for years causing temperatures to plummet and sunsets to turn vivid with lurid and unsettling displays of light. The effects of the immense waves were felt as far away as France. Barometers in Bogota and Washington D.C. went haywire. Bodies were washed up in Zanzibar. The sound of the island’s destruction was heard in Australia and India and on islands thousands of miles away. Most significant of all -- in view of today’s new political climate -- the eruption helped to trigger in Java a wave of murderous anti-Western militancy among fundamentalist Muslims: one of the first outbreaks of Islamic-inspired killing anywhere.
