Through text, photographs, and captions, this book explores natural disasters, and especially their effects on people. The book focuses on tornados, volcanos, snowstorms, floods, hurricanes, forest fires, blizzards, and earthquakes. It also mentions some rarer disasters like mudslides, talks a little bit about the science behind disasters, and talks about the most vulnerable locations.
