In this volume, writers examine the geologic and meteorologic processes that shape our environment. They present both a report on our understanding of nature's cataclysmic events and an overview of the greatest natural disasters in recorded history, from the destruction of Pompeii in A.D. 79 to the tornadoes, typhoons, earthquakes, and eruptions that make headlines today.
