Books about catastrophes
« on: Tue, 04 April 2017, 00:07:57 »
Heya

I'm looking for book recommendations. Specifically books about catastrophes and tragedies. Bhopal, 8/6/45, Chernobyl, and the like.

doin my degree on books

It won't be complete without "The Better Angels of Our Nature" by Steven Pinker.
From the US Constitution, Article 1, Section 8 :

The   Congress   shall have Power
To declare War,  grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;
To provide for calling forth the Militia  to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;

I'm guessing that you're looking for non-fiction? One of my fictional catastrophe books is "One Second After".

Might not be exactly what you're looking for, but I've got a couple comic/manga good ones.

Ultimatum graphic novel - Magneto floods NY killing millions and the heroes dealing with the grief and aftermath.

51 Ways To Save Her - Tokyo is hit by a devastating earthquake, the manga deals more with emotional outcomes and changes in the face of disaster
