      These informative discussions of natural disasters and hazards cover recent and historical events using (sometimes rather dramatic) accounts from eyewitnesses. Each includes a solid explanation of the underlying science, as well as descriptions of technological advances developed to predict and/or combat the events. Good-quality photos show the extent of the disasters. Some of the books include planning and safety tips. Glos., ind.

      These books describe natural disasters and the STEAM concepts used to manage them. The consistent one-chapter-per-STEAM-subject organization feels forced and makes for a scattershot presentation of information. Simple sentences attempt to stay accessible for new readers but sometimes lead to confusion, and the books' eye-catching photographs suffer from poor or misleading labeling. Key stats are appended. Glos., ind.
