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.
Michael Wolff says he urged Epstein to release information he had on Trump, but Epstein appeared worried about what Trump would do to him.
Epstein told him, “I may be a pervert, but I’m not crazy.” Epstein continued, "Trump is a man without any scruples.”

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
