The natural world comes with some very dangerous problems. Earthquakes, floods, and other natural disasters put lives at risk and often require human solutions to keep people safe. That's where technology comes in handy. From earthquake-proofing buildings to the levees and seawalls that protect cities from waves and floodwaters, readers will explore the problems Mother Nature presents to scientists and the resulting engineering marvels that help us in so many ways.
