 The newest in Simon's
excellent series on natural disasters, which includes books on volcanoes, earthquakes, and
lightning, is as dramatic and informative as the previous titles. Simon explains how and
why tornadoes form, how they behave, how scientists predict and track them, and what
safety measures should be taken if a tornado is sighted. Incredible full-color photographs
and diagrams, clearly portraying the different formations and devastating power of the
windstorms, complement the text perfectly. A must for middle-grade students researching
the subject, the book is sure to appeal to browsers as well. |
