The Nightmare Nature Tour

Nature presents us with some awesome, powerful, earth-shaking events. Many people suffer with phobias related to Earth’s wonders, such as astraphobia, which is the fear of thunder and lightning. While being scared of thunderous sounds is natural, phobias tip the scale because now your heart is pounding, your body is shaking, and you’re so overwhelmed by your feelings that it is extreme or irrational. This book takes a voyage through the phobias we encounter in nature. Through vivid descriptions of what a person goes through when they fear waves, bright light, shadows, and other natural phenomena, inquisitive readers investigate how fear has evolved over time. Sidebars and vibrant photographs highlight each phobia.
