Bøger i When Disaster Strikes serien

Extreme Volcanoes takes a good all round look at volcanoes. Here we explain the geology behind eruptions, why, how and where they happen (including on the seabed), and the different types of devastation they can cause: loss of human life, livestock and harvests, damage to homes, transport, communications, etc.

Extreme Earthquakes and Tsunamis These two extreme events are of course related, and are equal partners in this book. We explain the geology of earthquakes, along with the effects of a sequence of shocks; typical rescue operations and the technology used for these; and how earthquakes may be predicted and buildings made to withstand them.
