An eye-opening, and -widening, early introduction to our restless planet. An atlas of the most extreme meteorological and geological disasters that nature has to offer!

Clear, coherent explanations break down the science behind phenomena including hurricanes, tornadoes, avalanches, earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanoes, alongside fascinating facts about the biggest and the worst. Informative, accessible illustrations by Sophie Williams make this so much more than your standard geography book.
