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.
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.
Extreme Hurricanes and Tornadoes Another book of two halves! The development and geography of a hurricane/cyclone is explained, with the effects of devastating storm surges on land, why and where these happen, and of raging wind and torrential rain.
