The natural disasters of recent years have been among the worst in history—the burgeoning world population is clearly expanding faster than our disaster reduction technology. This edition features approximately 1,500 cross-referenced entries, and provides a single source on historical earthquakes and volcanic eruptions from all over the world. Updated with the most current information, this illustrated resource includes not only new geologic events, but also as many examples of historical earthquakes as possible for contrast or comparison.
