I think it's a great example of how words, photos, and old maps can tell a compelling story about the past, with messages that still have meaning today. There are thousands of significant faults in California where earthquakes can occur but the San Andreas Fault\u2014which runs through the state and forms the tectonic boundary between the Pacific and North American Plates\u2014is the most famous. The likely source of the now overdue \"Big One\"\u2014quake exceeding a magnitude 7\u2014will likely occur along southern reaches of the San Andreas.\r\n\r\nWhen I first moved to Southern California from tectonically tame Pennsylvania, a friend joked that among other interesting benefits the state offers, I'd also enjoy a ringside seat to plate tectonics in action. I think of that every time I feel an earthquake. And as I look out from my patio in and view the mountain landscape created by the San Andreas and related faults, I sometimes fear the Big
