"I was seeking something unconventional yet scenically beautiful for a long through-walk with a French friend for summer of 2016 when I settled on the OCT. But for a time I began to second guess my decision, especially in light of the fact that my friend was relying on me for all the planning and logistics. I found little reliable information and some that I did stumble across came with toxic reader reviews. Then I discovered Bonnie Henderson and it all came together. Reading Bonnie's blog feels like strolling down the beach chatting with a friend, albeit a very knowledgeable friend, and her guide book is far and away the best I have ever studied."

Illuminating the charged intersection of science, human nature, and public policy, The Next Tsunami describes how scientists came to understand the Cascadia Subduction Zone off the Pacific Northwest coast--a fault line capable of producing earthquakes even larger than the 2011 Tohoku quake in Japan--and how ordinary people are living with that knowledge.
