"The adage "truth is stranger than fiction" aptly summarizes Lee Davis's detailed chronicle of the worst environmental tragedies of the 20th century. In each account he describes precisely the conditions leading to disaster, the unfolding of events, and their ruinous aftermath."--BOOK JACKET. "Each section of Environmental Disasters is preceded by an introduction that places in context the articles that follow, a chronology, and a geographical guide. The book also contains photographs that vividly illustrate the effects of environmental disasters, a bibliography, and an index."--BOOK JACKET.
