The “Science of Catastrophe” series uses science to explain what happened in different disasters and excels in being accurate and readable. The series also has artistic illustrations and detailed diagrams of the science involved and the price is affordable. Reading about disasters such as the landslide in El Salvador (2001), the avalanche in France (2008), the earthquake in Haiti (2010) to the ancient caldera collapse in Yellowstone, USA (640,000 years ago), one learns that the earth is constantly changing.
