'Within this recently ascendant literature, the originality of Yaron Ayalon's book is that it takes natural disasters as a whole and reads the entire Ottoman history through their perspective. With that ambitious goal it explores the many ways by which the Ottomans came to face disasters such as plague, famine, fire, and earthquake over a period of approximately six centuries.' Baris Tasyakan, Journal of Ottoman Studies
