Earthquake [EPUB ebook] 

In this title, you can read about what it is like to experience a great earthquake. Our story is set in Japan, where earthquakes have long been part of its story. One day, the ground starts to shake violently. Many buildings and bridges collapse; tsunamis sweep in from the ocean, while landslides and fire threaten to destroy an entire city. What will become of the millions of people who live there? Each title in The Story of… series, suitable for children aged 7-11, features a stunning visual sequence in which the same viewpoint is held over time-sometimes minutes or hours, sometimes thousands of years-while the events unfold dramatically before our eyes, right up to the present day. History is brought to life as never before. Created by Q-files.com, the great online illustrated encyclopedia: the comprehensive, in-depth, expert-verified educational resource for children aged 8-13.
