Pro Reviews: Tornadoes
As long as they're safely distant, tornadoes are one of the most fascinating and dramatic phenomena weather has to offer. Simon provides a succinct yet vivid introduction to twisters, filling his text with memorable accounts of flattened cities and unusual tornadic effects ("A tornado once sucked up a pond full of frogs and rained them down on a nearby town."); he also offers technical information about tornado formation and measurement and explodes some tornado myths. The photographs of tornadoes in situ and the devastating after aftereffects are memorable indeed; often the images are bleeds on full pages or double spreads, providing a stormy backdrop for the text that describes them.
Publisher Notes: Tornadoes
- With winds that can reach speeds of three hundred miles an hour and funnel clouds that can measure a mile in diameter, tornadoes leave enormous damage in their wake.
Now award-winning author Seymour Simon examines these twisting columns of air and destruction. With the clear, concise style he is noted for, Simon explains how tornadoes are formed, why and when they are most likely to occur, how scientists classify and track them -- and what to do if one touches down. Spectacular full-color photographs show this powerful phenomenon in action.
