It's terrifying. The memoirs of Ragnar Stefánsson.
Seismologist Ragnar Stefánsson has long been prominent in Icelandic society. In this book, he tells his family story that spans more than a century. This is a candid story of love, grief, and loyalty, but also a story of a fight for justice and equality. In the book, Ragnar describes his upbringing in Reykjavík, the people and environment that became influential in his life. Ragnar early became a symbol of political opposition to the US occupation of Iceland, the Vietnam War, and the struggle of the Icelandic people for better conditions and a better society. The book discusses various aspects of this struggle, especially from the period from 1966 until the 1970s. He also tells stories from his work as one of the country's leading seismologists and from his and others' research aimed at predicting earthquakes. (Bókatíðindi 2013).
