Abbott/Samson Natural Disasters, Second Canadian Edition, focuses on explaining how the normal processes of the earth concentrate their energies and wreak havoc on civilization. The text is concerned with how the natural world operates and, in so doing, the effect that volcanoes, earthquakes, extreme weather, etc. have had on the inhabitants of the earth from ancient times to the present. Throughout the Second Canadian Edition, certain themes are emphasized:
- Energy sources underlying disasters
- Plate tectonics and climate change
- Earth processes operating in rock, water, and atmosphere
- Significance of geologic time
- Complexities of multiple variables operating simultaneously
- Detailed and readable case histories
