This richly illustrated pictorial history of natural disasters has been
composed from a large selection of images of a wide variety of sources,
mostly private collections. These include reproductions of rare engravings,
maps both old and new, sketches, and diagrams. The individual full-page
reproductions give historical views on natural disasters, such as
earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, avalanches, landslides and rock
falls. The illustrations are accompanied by text describing the geophysical
and historical background of the disasters, the origin of each of the
engravings and stories behind the events.
