When Nature Turns Nasty

This spectacular book contains extraordinary eyewitness accounts and stunning photographs of the destructive forces of nature in action.

From high in space, observe a violent superstorm arc over the entire eastern seaboard of the USA, or see a tornado twist and decimate whole cities.

Journey to remote south-eastern Iran where the ancient mud-brick city of Bam is reduced to dust in seconds and discover which parts of the world are prey to devastating earthquakes and why.

Venture up a South American volcano whose 1985 eruption spewed forth rock, ash and pumice and unleashed deadly torrents of mud that killed 25,000 people.

Meet nature's predators - crocodiles, sharks and grizzly bears - and those who have survived terrifying attacks.

Here is nature at its most primeval and awe-inspiring.
