 In this richly detailed encyclopedia, readers will find vivid, scholarly
accounts of all major storm systems ever recorded. Over 200 entries cover hurricanes in
science, history and culture, and folklore, including how storms have appeared in
literature, music, and the visual arts. For many of the storms described, author David
Longshore provides maps of their course, detailed chronologies of their progress,
photographs of their aftermath, and comments about them from firsthand observers. |
