501 katastrof, které otřásly světem

Přehled 501 nejničivějších katastrof čerpá z téměř 2500 posledních let lidských dějin. Přibližuje přírodní kalamity - výbuch Vesuvu nebo tsunami na Indickém oceánu, smrtící epidemie - mor nebo AIDS a osudové nehody - potopení Titaniku. Nejotřesnější jsou ale katastrofy, ke kterým nemuselo dojít a jejichž původcem je lidská krutost nebo nedbalost - ničivé války, genocidy a masakry, tragédie Černobylu nebo Bhópálu. A pak je tu až příliš mnoho ekologických, ekonomických a politických katastrof, které svou omezeností a nenasytností zavinil jen malý počet lidí, ale jejichž následky zpustošily životy mnoha.
