Synopsis

In Extreme Fire and Flood each of these twin disasters occupies half the book. The causes of fires (mostly human) are described, along with diverse effects on people and natural environments. The same pattern is followed for coastal and river flooding, with detailed stories of some of the most devastating disasters that have hit our planet. When Disaster Strikes is a series that focuses on the science behind the worst disasters to have hit the planet, mainly, but not only, in modern times. This includes geological/geographical causes, the changing patterns of disaster (perhaps as a result of global warming), the destruction and environmental effects, along with human- interest stories, and the latest technology for predicting and warning.
