Summary:	The monograph is a research on the representation of natural catastrophes in newspapers published in Western English-speaking countries. It aims to reveal who the newspaper discourse puts the blame on for the damage and destruction (whether the catastrophe is portrayed as a joint outcome of the natural phenomenon and social factors), how the discourse deals with the tension between natural disasters and the Enlightenment ideology of superiority of humankind over nature, and what are common discursive strategies dramatizing the events. The methodology of the research is critical discourse analy.
