Living in Japan I'm well aware of the threat of tsunamis. This country is hit by them all too often.But the fact that there are so many of them has made some folks here seem rather indifferent to a discussion about tsunami safety. Such people tend to shrug, when tsunamis are mentioned, and mutter something like "they're unavoidable" or "that's life".But I've long wondered what causes tsunamis and, more importantly, how my family and I can prepare for and escape from them. This book has the answers.It's simple, informative and to the point. It contains a historical overview of tsunamis (without being boring) and practical advice on how to detect warning signs of their approach and safety tips on how and when to escape.  It also includes helpful charts and illustrations.Verdict: Informative, Helpful and Scary guide. Highly recommended if you live in or are planning to visit an area prone to tsunami attacks.
