reviewed Megadisasters: The Science of Predicting the Next Catastrophe on July 24, 2010
Megadisasters
This was a very disappointing book. It's really ten or a dozen, possibly 20 or so, books all in one, each one far too short to be worthwhile. The author goes thru a litany of different types of disasters, but says far too little about each one.
Maybe he's thinking that this book will catch the attention of some documentary movie producer at the History Channel or the Science Channel. Don't waste your time with this book. Although easy to read, there's far too little meat to waste your time trudging thru 195 pages.
