Documents the devastating forces of nature, forces that we can occasionally predict but never hope to control. Each chapter has an introduction that tells how & why these terrible events come about & chronicles some of the most destructive natural disasters ever to have befallen humanity -- hurricanes, fires, earthquakes, floods, volcanoes, avalanches, & tornadoes. Fully illustrated throughout with stunning photographs, which captures the awesome power of the elements, it is a fascinating account of the power of the earth -- from volcanoes spilling millions of tons of white-hot rock, or earthquakes that cause buildings to destabilize & crumble in the space of a few short seconds, to giant tsunami waves, which can devastate coastal areas.
