Surveying the weather and seismic catastrophes in U.S. history--beginning with the 1886 Charleston earthquake--an environmental historian spotlights the defective ways in which real-estate interests, the media, and policy makers have responded to natural disasters and made matters worse. 20 photos.In exploring the unnatural history of natural calamity, this book surveys more than a century of losses from weather and seismic extremes, exposing the fallacy of seeing such calamities as simply random events. The author shows that is always America's poor, elderly, and minorities who suffer most.
