For many Americans, Katrina's deadly destructiveness offered a
first harrowing lesson in the power of hurricanes. For those living
along the Atlantic Coast and the Gulf of Mexico, Katrina was one
more disastrous encounter with an overwhelming force of nature. As
evidence mounts that these tropical cyclones will only grow more
frequent and intense, this book offers a much-needed opportunity to
understand the workings of hurricanes. Two recognized authorities
on climate and weather gives readers a close look at hurricanes
past and present, from the historic Galveston storm of 1900 to the
devastating Katrina. Along with near-incredible stories of damage
wreaked and lives altered, this book provides a clear and concise
introduction to the mechanics of the storms. In scientifically
accurate but easily comprehensible terms, the authors explain the
formidable wind speed, the heavy rains, and the eye of the
hurricane, all accompanied by detailed diagrams and spectacular
color photographs. Their work makes it possible for readers to make
informed decisions about a natural phenomenon that increasingly
affects our lives.
