It would be a good topic for him. The Alaska quake was even more critical to advancing understanding than Krakatoa.

For those unfamiliar with Simon Winchester:

Krakatoa: The Day the World Exploded: August 27, 1883

A Crack in the Edge of the World: America and the Great California Earthquake of 1906

Winchester is, IMHO, one of the greatest writers of our time. (He is a proud, newly-naturalized, American citizen.)
