Mother Nature Goes Nuts!: Amazing Natural Disasters

by Klutz (Editor)

We spent a year collecting the most incredible photography, facts, and true-life survival stories imaginable. Tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, and volcanoes — each gets its own section. In Klutz tradition, we also include a variety of hands-on experiences. The most eye-catching is the twister in a bottle attached to the front cover, an amazing gizmo that puts the power of a twister in the palm of your hand. The most unusual may be the make-it-yourself air-puff launcher, perfect for irritating people clear across the room with perfectly timed wind gusts. Comes twister in a bottle • Create wonderful things • Be good • Have fun

About the author

Klutz is a publishing company started in Palo Alto, California in 1977 and acquired by Scholastic Inc. in 2002. The first Klutz book was a how-to guide titled Juggling for the Complete Klutz, which came provided with juggling beanbags attached in a mesh bag. The book was created by three friends who graduated from Stanford University: Darrell Lorentzen, John Cassidy, and B.C. Rimbeaux. Since then the company has continued to specialize in activity-driven books sold along with other items needed for the activity. Not all the books are about developing a skill; there has also been a geography book containing, among other physical attachments, packets of rice corresponding to the average daily caloric intake among the poorest people of the world. Many of their books are spiral bound and teach various crafts. The items needed are usually included with the book, e.g. the juggling guide. The Klutz credo is: Create wonderful things, be good, have fun.
