Product Description
This series introduces readers to natural events that can change people's lives and the landscape, with case studies of recent and historic disasters and incidents. Each book looks at what causes natural disasters to happen, how people are affected by them, and the work of the emergency services and aid organizations. The books introduce measuring equipment, how it is used and who collects it. They look at how professionals use weather data to predict local and national weather, and climate change, as well as the use of ICT in measuring weather. The relationship between particular weather conditions and wider weather patterns is examined, using examples from around the world. Includes project ideas.

A nice edition to a school library collection April 8, 2006
I like how this book is set up. The sections usually start out with a question to be answered like: "Can Landslides Be Predicted?" There are also several "case studies" of different places and times in history when landslides occured and what the effects were. Bold printed words appear in the glossary in the back. The "More Books to Read" section was disappoionting because it only had three books. They do use an index to categorize topics in the book. I also like the relevant photographs and helpful captions throughout the book. The reading level is good for an elementary school library.
