ReviewsCal Orey's wonderfully written book about geologist Jim Berkland's unique but scientifically unorthodox approach to predictions of forthcoming earth tremors should register 9.9 on the Richter Scale!--Clarisa Bernhardt, columnist for shirleymaclaine.com, Can Berkland predict earthquakes? It seems so, and veteran author Cal Orey does an extraordinary job of not only telling Jim's story to the world, but also providing readers with an enormous amount of valuable information about earthquakes. Frankly, I wish I had this book when I was researching my own book about disasters. Highly recommended. --Stephen Spignesi, author of Catastrophe! The 100 Greatest Disasters of All Time, A fascinating read full of amazing anecdotes and provocative information. Orey's book entertains while challenging conventional science. So be warned, once you start reading this book, you won't put it down. --Kathleen Antrim, author of Capital Offense, columnist for the San Francisco Examiner, Twenty to thirty percent of children in the area woke up more than a minute before the Kobe, Japan, earthquake in 1995. Cal Orey's book shows that a nature-loving geologist like Jim Berkland, with a heart of a child, can forecast earthquakes. --Motoji Ikeya, Professor Emeritus of Osaka University, Japan; author of Earthquakes and Animals, In this landmark book, journalist Cal Orey demonstrates that Berkland will cross any chasm to deliver his quake wisdom.--Jim Baker, County Geologist of Santa Clara County, California, A fascinating read full of amazing anecdotes and provocative information.

SynopsisMeet Jim Berkland, a California geologist whose forecast of the famous October 17, 1989 World Series Quake that rumbled through the San Francisco Bay Area was right on the money. This is the first book to document a geologist's uncanny ability to foretell earthquakes around the world. This facinating read includes stories of earthquake survivors, a wealth of details about seismic activity in earthquake prone regions around the world., It just might. Berkland has accurately predicted at least six significant quakes around the world, an impressive record and invaluable asset in natural disasters. After all, scientists say that they aren't able to reliably predict earthquakes. Berkland hopes that someday earthquake warnings will be announced along with the weather, saving countless people's lives around the world. This is the first book to document one geologist's uncanny ability to foretell earthquakes around the world. The California geologist forecasted the famous Loma Prieta Earthquake that rumbled through the San Francisco Bay Area, and he was right on the money. Many of Jim Berkland's theories - based on tides, moons, geyser activity, magnetic-field changes, and strange animal behavior (disoriented pets, lost cats and dogs) - were linked to the great Indian Ocean quake-tsunami disaster on 26 December 2004.
