For younger readers, not much is spared in flood-caused mayhem. After an initial chapter on the classification and mechanics of flooding, there is one on The Great Flood treating it as implicitly mythic. Then, there are chapters on famous flood events from pre-Aswan Dam Egypt (including listing the problems caused by that Dam), Hurrican Agnes (1972) the Alaska Good Friday flood, and more.
