It has chapters on the great disasters of history, starting with Pompeii, and includes some I never heard of. Barcelona. Iceland. Tokyo. But it's really about the interaction between events and people, and how (in)accurately people assess risks and assign blame.
Evolution of plate tectonics, too. I didn't realize how important the
1906 San Francisco quake was. The fault here is clearly visible and offset about 20 feet in the quake, also clearly visible.And good writing.
