creolelitbelle's review against another edition
4.0
Great book for anyone interested in meteorology and especially hurricanes. For a physical science class in community college I had to choose any book related to physical science from the school library and write a chapter-by-chapter report on it. I found this chilling on a shelf and figured it was perfect for me. Being from southern Louisiana, I have developed a natural curiosity about hurricanes. This book details the history of discovering and understanding what hurricanes are, the development of forecasting them, some attempts at controlling them, and events that surrounded some major hurricanes to hit the USA such as Hurricane Andrew. If you enjoy learning more about hurricanes from experts who really understand the storms, read this.
