`Geography has never been such fun before!', 8 Feb 2007

By	Amazon Reviewer - See all my reviews

`Does Geography grind you down?
Fed up with miserable maps, rotten rock piles and dire diagrams?
Wave goodbye to boring geography lessons as you brace yourself for the shocking world of `Earth-shattering Earthquakes'......
Gasp! ...at the earthquake that made a river run backwards.
Run for your life! ...as an earthquake sends the sea surging towards you in a gigantic wave.
Giggle!...at the hamster shaken out of its cage by an earthquake.
And..... if that is not ground-breaking enough for you.......find out what it takes to become an earthquake expert, learn how to survive if an earthquake strikes and discover how rats and snakes can predict tremors.
It's earth shatteringly exciting!
Geography has never been so horrible!'
