This collection of the world's worst disasters covers a range of catastrophes, from the natural calamities such as the eruption of Vesuvius or the Indian Ocean Tsunami to unstoppable diseases such as the Black Death or terrible accidents like the sinking of the Titanic. Complete with stunning photographs, this book is a reminder of how little control we really have over our lives, but also demonstrates mankind's ability to suffer through catastrophic events and yet still get back up and carry on. 501 Most Devastating Disasters portrays stories of great courage and demonstrates mankind's ability to defy disasters.
