Product Description
Super storms, and their deadly consequences, have hit the headlines over the past decade as hurricanes, cyclones and typhoons have devastated countries around the world. But why are these occurrences so frequent and destructive? And what happens to the affected communities after disaster has struck? Planet in Peril: Super Storms answers these questions and many more, looking at three case studies of recent super storms to see what happened, how people coped in the aftermath, and how governments, charities and aid agencies worked together to rebuild devastated communities.
