By: Henry FountainNew York Times Book Review Editors' Choice • A riveting narrative about the biggest earthquake in North American recorded history—the 1964 Alaska earthquake that demolished the city of Valdez and swept away the island village of Chenega—and the geologist who hunted for clues to explain how and why it took place.
At 5:36 p.m. on March 27, 1964, a magnitude 9.2. earthquake—the second most powerful in world history—struck the young state of Alaska. The violent shaking, followed by massive tsunamis, devastated the southern half of the state and killed more than 130 people. A day later, George Plafker, a geologist with the U.S. Geological Survey, arrived to investigate. His fascinating scientific detective work in the months that followed helped confirm the then-controversial theory of plate tectonics.
In a compelling tale about the almost unimaginable brute force of nature, New York Times science journalist Henry Fountain combines history and science to bring the quake and its aftermath to life in vivid detail. With deep, on-the-ground reporting from Alaska, often in the company of George Plafker, Fountain shows how the earthquake left its mark on the land and its people—and on science.

Weird sizing, snug in some places and much more “relaxed” in others
Special Size: Rigid, Size: 33W x 28L, Color: Black
Comfortable and close fit around waist, buttocks, crotch - but from thigh down trouser cuff it’s a VERY relaxed fit, much bigger than I need even with thick muscular legs. Not quite clown pants or bell bottoms, but a still a strange look. I’ll probably be sending them back.

Too baggy! (UPDATE): Bought this style of jeans again and they fit great!
Size: 31W x 30L, Color: Tinted Light Wash
These jeans are too baggy for my liking.
Edit: I purchased more jeans of this style recently again and for some reason they fit a lot better to my liking than before when I first left the initial review for this.
I have updated my review from 3 stars to 4 stars now. I purchased the black, grey, dark wash and tinted medium blue, and all 4 had a good fit on me.
My original review stated that it was too baggy but the 4 jeans I just bought had a fitted look which is what i prefer, not too baggy and not to slim/skinny.
I want to point out that the fit varies from the color choices. For example, the black, grey and dark wash jeans, i went with a size 32x30 because 31x30 for those colors were too tight/slim on me and for the tinted medium blue, i downsize to 31x30 because 32x30 for this color is too baggy.
So buy the size you usually wear and if it's too slim or baggy then send it back and size up or down. Buying jeans on Amazon, i feel that you will have to buy a few different sizes and see which one fits you the best and then go from there.
Edit (3/7/26): sizing is very inconsistent. So my previous edit above stated that the jeans I recently purchased fit great on me, and that's true, so I decided to buy another jean, same color and same size, this time the jean fit way too small/tight. I feel like amazon needs to do better quality control on these jeans. How does 2 pairs of the same jeans/color/size have such an inconsistent in size/fitting to it!
