Abstract
This book began with five stories that were based upon legends and historical records of tsunami. These stories formed the basis of subsequent description and discussion about tsunami in the text. It is perhaps appropriate to end this book with five stories that foreshadow the nature of tsunami events in the near future. Each of these stories centers upon one of the underrated aspects about tsunami dealing with their mechanism of formation, location, or impact on a technologically advanced society.
