This was a frequent check-out for me at the elementary school library when I was a kid. Loved the cross-sections and dramatic artwork throughout. Altogether a beautiful and informative book. I would love to see an updated version.

I thought this had very interesting information about the world's biggest disasters. It has a bunch of really nice huge pictures that easily show what it was like to be there.
