Nature's Fury: Eyewitness Reports of Natural Disacters

Rating:
Summary: Learn first-hand about Natural Disasters
Review: The author recounts the events that happened in natural disasters in this book. Aside from merely telling of the disaster, the author includes testimony from actual survivors of the event. Many of these people she interviewed first hand, while others she used portions of letters or diaries that the survivors kept. By doing this, the reader has a sense of what it was like to be present at the time of the disaster. Included are tales of earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, fires, and droughts. The author includes her sources as well as those she suggests for further investigation. Photographs are included of many of the natural disasters and their aftermath.
