"Life": Nature's Fury by "LIFE" Magazine
When the Weather Spins out of Control
This title explores in explanations and startling photographs the immense power of the forces acting on our planet through the eyes of those who have been most affected by it - including scientists, researchers and innocent bystanders. It covers earthquakes, tornedoes, volcanoes and hurricanes.DESCRIPTION: San Francisco crumbles. Mount Saint Helens blows. A tsunami slams into Australia and a typhoon swamps Indochina. There is nothing as visually stunning as nature's fury, and few things as surprising as nature resilience. LIFE will look at the sites of famous natural disasters then and now in sometimes frightening, sometimes uplifting photography. The science underlying various natural disasters will be explained, and famous cases--Krakatoa, the Perfect Storm-revisited. LIFE visits the remote places when disasters often go unheard and unseen. An ice shelf crumbles in Antarctica, a volcanic island grows in the North Sea off Iceland. Nature's remarkable power is captured in this awe-inspiring book. |
