This series of books looks at the history of natural disasters and their effects on mankind and the environment. TIDAL WAVES have nothing to do with tides. They are caused by earthquakes on the sea bed, and they can crash on the land causing widespread devastation. Floods can prevail anywhere on Earth and no part of the world can be considered immune to their devastating effect. Dramatic pictures illustrate this book which explains all aspects of these destructive powers.
