Natural Disaster Zone: Wildfires and Freak Weather Summary

Natural Disaster Zone: Wildfires and Freak Weather by Ben Hubbard

Look inside natural disasters and discover how they work!

Natural disasters devastate communities. They reshape the landscape and can alter people's ways of life in an area for years after the event. Learn all about wildfires and freak weather. Find out how they form, where they are mostly to happen and how scientists study them through diagrams and case studies.

Explore how natural disasters work by cracking them open and looking at them from the inside. How do they happen? How are they destructive? What happens on the inside of each phenomena? And where in the world are the danger zones? This series explore each of these questions in detail.

This series uses detailed artwork, cutaways and images from real-life to give a rounded view of each event. Perfect for readers aged 9 and up.

About Ben Hubbard

Ben Hubbard began his writing career at a what's-on newspaper in the 1990s, interviewing bands, actors and artists in his native Wellington, New Zealand. He later joined the fast-paced world of daily newspaper journalism before packing up shop and moving to England. Here, Ben tied a number of new strings to his bow: magazine editor, book editor, and finally, author. Today, Ben writes a mix of non-fiction for all ages - preschoolers through to adults. He has penned titles on an eclectic subject range: from space exploration, samurai warriors and medieval castles; to pop music, pets, tornadoes and rugby skills.
