Hurricanes and Storms

Hurricanes and Storms sets out clearly how wind and rain form part of weather patterns all around the world, and looks at the terrible damage they can cause, on land, in the air and at sea. Shelters and sea walls can give some protection, and improved rescue services can help in the aftermath, but the key lies in forecasting. The book looks at advances in weather satellites, and explores some of the latest ideas from limiting the damage from storms, including the possibility of dispersing them.
