Earth Shattering Events is a fascinating book about natural disasters – geological and meteorological. There is also a timely and pertinent section about climate change. The book has chapters on earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes and avalanches. There are also chapters about cyclones, tornadoes, wildfires, blizzards and hailstorms.

Earth Shattering Events is illustrated throughout in full-colour. The illustrations are hand-drawn and really engaging. There’s a great mix of diagrams, maps, cross-sections and charts.

I really liked the clear, uncluttered layout. There’s also a really nice split between text and illustration so the book isn’t dauntingly text-heavy. The explanations are easy to understand and there’s lots of really interesting information. There are bite-sized facts and statistics if you just want to dip in and out of the book or more detailed paragraphs if you want to understand the science.
