| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Flooding on a grand scale and extremely high temperatures have contributed to some of the worst natural disasters in the world. In some cases, they have even been used for as a political advantage and tactic of war. This book looks at the deadliest floods and heat waves on record and some of the effects these disasters have had on the world.
