  • "Explores extreme weather, such as hurricanes, floods, droughts, and climate change, and discusses its impact on humans as well as efforts to protect the planet."
  • "What happened when Cyclone Nargis his Myanmar? How can we explain the increase in hurricanes, floods and droughts? What is climate change and how is it affecting our weather? Discover the answer to these and many more questions in Catastophic weather."
  • "Climate influences the features of the landscape, what farmers can grow, where people live, and the type of houses they build. But what happens when the climate changes abruptly and dramatically, not as part of a natural process of change but because of human activity? The result is more frequent and stronger extreme weather events such as heat waves, storms, torrential rain, raging winds, and hurricanes. This fascinating book uses case studies to explore the causes and effects of catastrophic weather and asks the question: Are we prepared to adapt our lifestyles to prevent climate change from spiraling out of control?"
