Ferocious Fires

(4) 4-6 Natural Disasters series. The books in this series provide insight into common natural disasters. Richards gives an Australian context for many of the examples; nevertheless, in most cases they are informative and serve their purpose. Photographs create interest and enliven the text, and sidebars add possibilities for further discussion. Occasionally, a word definition isn't clear or an unfamiliar term is used without adequate explanation. Glos., ind. [Review covers these Natural Disasters titles: Ferocious Fires, Furious Floods, Howling Hurricanes, Quivering Quakes, Terrifying Tornadoes, Vibrating Volcanoes.]
