關於產品
Product Information
Tornadoes are the most violent, magnificent, and utterly unpredictable storms on earth, reaching estimated wind speeds of 300 mph and leaving trails of destruction in their wake. In Tornado Alley, Howard Bluestein draws on two decades of experience chasing and photographing tornadoes across the American Plains to present a historical account of the study of tornadoes and the great thunderstorms that spawn them. For scientists, amateur weather enthusiasts, or anyone who's ever been intrigued or terrified by a darkening sky, Tornado Alley provides not only a history of tornado research but a vivid look into the origin and effects of nature's most dramatic phenomena.

Reviews
"Extraordinary images and detailed explanations of atmospheric phenomena paint a true picture of the science behind storm chasing... Tornado Alley now occupies a prominent position on my bookshelf as it should yours. It is far too beautiful a gem for a coffee table."--Weatherwise, "Tornadoes are the Tyrannosaurs Rex of the atmosphere. Howie Bluestein is one of the world's leading tornado researchers and takes us on an exciting scientific ride to the land of these monsters. He captures the excitement of 'the chase' in words and pictures like few authors can. Not only achase to see and document nature's most fearsome whirlwinds, but the chase and excitement of science and scientists as they seek to unravel the mysteries of severe thunderstorms and tornadoes. From taking us from the early days of tornado research, to an encounter with an F5 monster, to helping usbetter understand how thunderstorms form, to a day when cowboys lassoed an errant instrument, Tornado Alley is a written and visual treat for anyone who has ever been fascinated by the awesome power of nature, and wondered what it would be like to be on the ultimate chase...not only to see but tounderstand."--Bob Ryan, meteorologist, WRC-TV, Washington, D.C., "The descriptions of the storms themselves are nothing less than awesome..., An entrancing summary of what is known and conjectured about tornadoes, from a man who has been running after them for over 20 years."--Kirkus Reviews, "The photographer/scientist Bluestein included something for everybody: numerous color photographs of tornadoes and convective clouds; diagrams of storm and atmospheric structure; and tales of chasing tornadoes in cars, trucks, and planes equipped with weather instruments and cameras fordocumenting storm behavior."--Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, "The photographer/scientist Bluestein included something for everybody:numerous color photographs of tornadoes and convective clouds; diagrams of stormand atmospheric structure; and tales of chasing tornadoes in cars, trucks, andplanes equipped with weather instruments and cameras for documenting stormbehavior."--Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, "Howie Bluestein is an innovator in tornado research. He has written abook useful to the professional meteorologist but still understandable to theweather hobbyist. His enthusiasm for the subject is obvious--personalreflections make this book a pleasure to read."--Valerie Voss, CNN SeniorMeteorologist, "Dozens of the author's own photographs show the mesmerizing power of tornadoes as his text reflects the conversion of an enthusiasm into a profession."--Booklist, "Professor Bluestein has painted a captivating portrait of one of the great wonders of nature, demonstrating that scientific revelation can enhance our sense of awe and beauty. He has done for the tornado what E.O. Wilson did for the ant and Jack London for the wolf."--Kerry Emanuel,Massachusetts Institute of Technology, "Bluestein masterfully weaves his experiences together with his insights into this constantly evolving field of research."--Roger A. Pielke, Sr Nature, "Tornadoes are the Tyrannosaurs Rex of the atmosphere.

He skillfully blends tornado theory, observations, and models with his own spectacular photographs into a coherent story of what it's like to 'be there' for more than 20 years of storm chases in the Great Plains. Written in a straightforward, non-technical style, Tornado Alley will capture the interest of readers intrigued with and yes, even terrified of, Planet Earth's mostviolent weather phenomena."--James F.

Do not buy from this seller! Item was not as advertised, used, dirty, missing pages and basically a wait to get money back! Had to jump through their hoops to get my money back even after looking and finding this is something they do a lot of. Please read the reviews!,,
