Disasters that didn't kill anyone, but by any definition would be called a disaster, to disasters that killed millions. There are disasters examined that occurred thousands of years ago and disasters which occurred in the last decade.What makes DAMN What a Disaster unique is the way in which the disasters are described. The magnitude of the various disasters are described in such a way that they are easily put into perspective. It is difficult for the average person to put millions of fatalities into perspective. In this book, comprehending massive fatalities is made much easier to understand.If you thought this book was really a book about skateboarding then please don't read any further, you'll be sadly disappointed.
