Explore the dynamic and often perilous nature of our planet with ‘Geophysical and Climate Hazards’ by Bill McGuire. This essential guide, part of Oxford’s acclaimed Very Short Introductions series, re-examines natural disasters through the lens of planetary heating. Discover how centuries of human activity, particularly carbon emissions, have fundamentally altered the ‘natural’ hazard landscape, amplifying extreme weather events like storms, floods, and wildfires. McGuire delves into the complex interplay between geophysical events such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions and the destabilizing effects of a changing climate. Understand the true causes and escalating consequences of disasters, challenging the notion of purely ‘natural’ phenomena. Perfect for gaining a quick yet insightful grasp of Earth’s increasing volatility.
