Nicely detailed encyclopedia of disasters but type too small. 13 Sep 2008

By John Lewis - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

This is a very well-written encyclopedia-style reference book describing most kinds of major disasters. The one glaring ommission only partially covered by other topics is FAMINE! One of the oldest calamities of human existence since the Neolithic revolution. Other than that, this reference book is quite thorough for a layman's guide to disasters. The only big problem is the format of this Firefly version is too tiny. Lots of pictures too small to really see much, and the small print too hard to read, especially for a reference book. I don't know if the previous Philips edition might be a little bigger. I will try it and see.
