(3) 4-6 Witness to Disaster series. Dramatic first-person quotes and an array of impressive photographs bring to readers real-life accounts of recent and historical natural disasters. The emphasis here is on personal reactions--devastation, destruction, and fear (Hurricanes more so than Volcanoes)--although basic explanations of hurricane and volcano mechanics and the science of prediction are also included, supported by quotes from scientists. Reading list, websites. Bib., glos., ind. Review covers these Witness to Disaster titles: Hurricanes and Volcanoes.
