On August 27, 1883, the island of Krakatau near Java erupted with a force nearly ten thousand times that of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima, obliterating all plant and animal life. This book is a comprehensive account of the reassembly of a tropical forest ecosystem on Krakatau over the past century.
