Description
"We humans take our domination of the planet for granted, but sometimes nature reminds us that this is an illusion. Tectonics rip open the earth, vast waves sweep away coastal towns, magma spews from volcanoes, and hurricanes lay waste to entire countries. This book explores nature at its most destructive."--Provided by publisher.
