On the heals of Hurricane Ivan and with Jean in the wings, awaiting her

Hurricanes (Dangerous Weather)
By Michael Allaby
From the book Jacket:
Hurricanes are the largest, fiercest storms our atmosphere is capable of
producing. Their destructive power can equal that of a one-megaton hydrogen
bomb. Today, meteorologists are able to determine where hurricanes begin;
predict their size, path, and force; and estimate the damage they will do.
Hurricanes explains the behavior, history, and scientific advances in our
understanding of these monster storms.
The Dangerous Weather series imparts fundamental weather science to readers
through author Michael Allaby's vivid descriptions of extreme weather
systems. The series focuses on the five most dangerous kinds of weather
activity; diagrams related meteorological, climatological, and environmental
basics in clear, compelling language; chronicles the history of each form of
dangerous weather; and offers safety precautions for extreme weather
conditions. Fully illustrated and indexed, the Dangerous Weather series is
an invaluable tool for student research. Other volumes include:
tornadoes blizzards
floods
droughts
A chronology of weather
Michael Allaby is the author of more than 40 books, mainly on science,
environmental topics. A few of his previous works include Basics ofEnvironm
It Works: The Environment, and The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Ecology.
