Natural Catastrophies : Annual Review (2000)

The 8th annual statistical analysis of the Year 2000's natural catastrophes on the basis of various criteria & to refresh the reader's memory of these events visually. For the first time this review also includes some important technicalÓ catastrophes (e.g. air crashes & major fires). The Year 2000 was a year of floods & a year that was by & large lacking in major earthquakes. Never before had so many natural catastrophes been recorded in any one year, but fortunately the effects -- in terms of both fatalities & economic & insured losses -- remained within bounds. Illustrated with color photographs, maps, tables & graphs.Leonard, Barry is the author of 'Natural Catastrophies : Annual Review (2000)', published 2001 under ISBN 9780756714703 and ISBN 0756714702.
