Purchased on Mighty Ape

This book is rubbish. It has not one shred of scientific basis, no references, and I couldn't find out what the authors qualifications were. It's almost like it was written by a 4th former for a school paper. It could have been an interesting topic and I was looking forward to reading it, however this was the biggest rip-off I have ever had. Mighty Ape- please don't sell this to people.

Description

The natural workings of the Earth often lead to immense human suffering. Is this suffering inevitable? In this book Simon Saint makes the case that it isn't. He considers two events which are typically thought of as 'natural disasters' - the 2008 Boxing Day Tsunami and the current events in Japan (March 2011) - and explains why these events, whilst having natural causes, are actually 'human-made' disasters. The acceptance that these disasters are the results of human actions is useful because it means that humans can act so as to prevent such disasters reoccurring in the future.
