English Summary/英文概要： A comprehensive and easy-to-understand exploration of hurricanes, tsunamis, tornadoes, heat waves, and more, complete with hundreds of full-color photographs and descriptive illustrations, charts, and graphs.
Category 5 hurricanes, deadly tsunamis, record-high winds; now more than ever it seems that “extreme weather” has become a reality and a concern around the world and in our own backyard. While these natural events are frightening, few of us really understand what causes them—and we’re left to wonder how and where disaster might strike next, what we can do to protect ourselves, and whether such things can be prevented.
Extreme Weather answers these questions and many more in a thorough, scientific, yet absolutely clear and easy-to-understand manner. Along with numerous color photos and illustrations, each weather phenomenon is accompanied by comprehensive visual aids that make learning about the subject as easy as it is fun.
Organized by weather-related events including hurricanes, winter storms, lightning, tsunamis, tornadoes, floods, and heat waves, the book explores weather patterns and other factors that contribute to extreme climate conditions. It is an unprecedented, comprehensive picture of where our weather,where it has been and where it is heading tomorrow and in the future.
