From avalanches to volcanoes, and from the Gulf Oil Spill to bridge
collapses, author Alvin JacQues explores the fascinating world of
disasters-both manmade and natural. Inspired by his survival of
Hurricane Katrina, chronicled in his first book "Catastrophic
Gumbo, " JacQues delivers a compilation of facts and commentary on
a number of global natural and manmade disasters, both historical
and more recent, that have impacted the human race. Gathered from
more than sixty locations, JacQues details the mayhem caused by a
range of events that include an F5 tornado in Oklahoma, a typhoon
in China, a blizzard in the United States, the flood of 1889, the
sinking of the Titanic, and the crash of Flight 111. A compelling
collection of stories, "Catastrophic Companions" narrates the
reality of extreme events and communicates not only the power of
Mother Nature, but of the perseverance of the human race to endure
these tragedies for which often there is no preparation.
