Emerging from the depths of the earth or from the confines of space, cataclysms have marked the rhythm of our planet's history. They are not mere catastrophes: they are true architects that have sculpted continents, altered climates and redirected the course of life itself. What secrets do the ashes of Pompeii hide? How did a summer without sun transform world literature? What is the connection between meteorites and the evolution of life? Through a narrative that interweaves scientific rigor with fascination for the extraordinary, this book shows us that cataclysms are much more than destructive events: they are windows into the history of our planet, living archives that help us understand our place in the cosmos. We live on a planet in constant transformation, where every stratum tells a story of destruction and renewal. In the understanding of these forces that have shaped and continue to shape the Earth lies our ability to coexist with the most powerful phenomena of nature. In these pages, Guiomar Calvo unravels the most extraordinary events that have shaped our world. From the bowels of Vesuvius to the mysterious craters that dot the earth's surface, each chapter reveals how these phenomena have left their mark not only on the landscape, but also on our culture, our history and our understanding of the natural world.
