Real-life events that altered the course of human history.

Natural disasters have threatened the safety and survival of the human race since time immemorial. Hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis and pandemics have all had a devastating effect on populations. The Book of Natural Disasters takes an in-depth look at some of the biggest tragedies to have struck humankind throughout history. From the destruction of Pompeii and the ravages of the Black Death, to Hurricane Katrina and the Indian Ocean Tsunami, a whole host of deadly modern and historic events are covered here. Find out how communities rallied together in the face of great adversity to organise rescue efforts, and how scientists are working to help countries be better prepared when catastrophe strikes. Read the stories of eyewitnesses and interviews with experts in an effort to understand the natural disasters that altered the course of human history.
