The World's Greatest Disasters
The World's Greatest Disasters is a thrilling catalogue of catastrophes from the fall of Pompeii, the Black Death and the Spanish Inquisition, to the sinking of the Titanic and the Great Depression. Fire, flood, storm, drought, it's all here, including the most recent disasters of the 80s: AIDS, Chernobyl, the Alaskan oil spill and the San Francisco earthquake.
The World's Greatest Disasters ends with a topical look at 'disasters in the making': the greenhouse effect, the ozone layer, acid rain and the destruction of the rain forests. This vivid portrayal of the world's worst disasters, both natural and man-made, is illustrated throughout.
