The first indication of the prolonged terror that followed the 1906 earthquake occurred when a ship steaming off San Francisco's Golden Gate "seemed to jump clear out of the water." This gripping account of the earthquake, the devastating firestorms that followed, and the city's subsequent reconstruction vividly shows how, after the shaking stopped, humans, not the forces of nature, nearly destroyed San Francisco in a remarkable display of simple ineptitude and power politics.

A tour of some of the world's most iconic and endangered species - and what we can do to save them.

In the winter of 1956, Phillip Hoose was a gawky, uncoordinated 9-year-old boy just moved to a new town - Speedway, Indiana - and trying to fit into a new school and circle of friends. Baseball was his passion, even though he was terrible at it and constantly shamed by his lack of ability. But he had one thing going for him that his classmates could never have - his second cousin was a pitcher for the New York Yankees. Don Larsen wasn't a star, but he was in the Yankees' rotation. And on October 8, 1956, he pitched perhaps the greatest game that has ever been pitched.

Het meeslepende verhaal van een van de grootste vulkaanuitbarstingen aller tijden. In april 1815 vond op het eiland Soembawa, in het toenmalige Nederlands-Indië, de grootste vulkaanuitbarsting sinds mensenheugenis plaats. Deze uitbarsting verbijsterde behalve de plaatselijke bevolking ook de koloniale overheersers. De enorme aswolk die na de eruptie over de wereld dreef, zorgde voor hagel op Sri Lanka en sneeuw in het zuiden van de VS. Twee natuurverschijnselen die daarvoor én daarna nooit meer zijn waargenomen. Het boek volgt de wolk die na de uitbarsting over de hele wereld heen trekt.
