Editorial Reviews

From Scientific American

With 21 before-and-after photographs depicting the results of mud slides, tidal waves and earthquakes, plus activities that let kids bring scale-model calamities into the kitchen (simulating a volcano in a plastic bag or unleashing a hurricane in a bottle) this book reveals the forces that make disasters happen.


Product Description

The high-impact science behind hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, avalanches, tornadoes, volcanoes and things that go crash. Illustrated with more than 20 before-and-after lift-the-flap photographs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic (GREAT) Klutz Press: lots of photos and cool stuff, February 28, 1999
By A Customer
This book keeps the tradition of Klutz Press alive; it's packed with wonderful photos of before and after disasters (e.g. Building Standing vs Building after earthquake). It's a wonderful coffee table book, primarily, perhaps, for boys and men who like things that blow up, fall down, get washed away, etc. Unlike most other Klutz books, there're not many to-do activities. But the photos will keep the clan gathered around ou-ing and ah-ing. It gives brief explanations of how various disasters occur: floods, rogue waves, deliberate crashing of a 42,000 pound F-4 phantom jet into a 12-foot thick wall... at 480 mph. (If that last one got your attention, this is the book for you!)

5.0 out of 5 stars Humourous and entertaining - it helped me on my project, June 23, 1999
By A Customer
This book had great photos. The before and after lift-up flaps really helped show me how amazing the forces of nature are! It was also very funny and I spent hours looking at it.
