 | | Winchester, who has become a touchstone on the disaster circuit thanks to his book on the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa, expected a frisson of alarm from the audience, maybe even resistance. |
 | | After all, as Winchester reminds in his latest book, A Crack in the Edge of the World, the city had its trial run when, at 5.12am on April 18, 1906, an earthquake of an estimated magnitude of 7.8 on the Richter scale struck. |
