Book Reviews of Adventures in Tornado Alley: The Storm Chasers
Book Review: Amazing Storm Photos!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great book for anyone that is a serious storm chaser...or for someone like me (someone that likes to watch storms from his living room or deck)! :-) The photos are excellent and I'm happy to say that this book is absolutely packed with great photos. There is enough text to describe the photos and the circumstances surrounding the storm, but it is NOT heavy-laden with boring text at all. Really a perfect balance.
I highly recommend this book! Buy it, you won't be disappointed.
Summary of Adventures in Tornado Alley: The Storm Chasers
From surreal skyscapes to wholesale destruction: the most dramatic scenes from the natural world.The destructive power of nature has always been a source of fear and fascination, and never more so than now, when climate change and extreme weather conditions are constantly in the news. Across the central United States, the infamous storms of Tornado Alley are fueled by the collision of cold fronts from Canada and warm fronts from the Gulf of Mexico. People have been chasing these storms for decades in pursuit of thrilling experiences, but now a new generation of storm chasers is combining scientific knowledge with powerful images.
This book follows Mike Hollingshead and Eric Nguyen on seventeen chases through Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and South Dakota, illustrating the unfolding events with sequential shots and a running commentary by the chasers themselves. These spectacular storm portfolios are expanded with special features on weather phenomena like hail and mammatus clouds plus insights into forecasting and research. 340 color illustrations.
