Ch. 1: Natural disasters in Australia -- Ch. 2: Natural disasters worldwide.
"Recent catastrophic natural events in our region and in other parts of the world such as tsunamis, cyclones and earthquakes are a reminder of nature?s power and people?s willingness to be generous with humanitarian aid in the wake of such devastation. Australia has also had its fair share of destructive natural disasters, including cyclones, bushfires, floods and drought. Scientists warn of growing natural disasters as global warming accelerates, increasing the frequency of recorded extreme weather events. This book focuses on the major types of natural disaster - cyclones, floods, drought, fire, earthquakes, tsunamis etc - and examines their impact on humans and the environment. What are the natural and man-made causes of these phenomena, how predictable are they, and what are the disaster management responses at a national and global level?" -- http://www.spinneypress.com.au
