From the cover - mostly: From typhoons to monsoons, floods to famine, weather-related disasters occur on an almost weekly basis. This book examines the internal and external mechanisms that cause weather on the Earth. It tells the story of weather through the ages. Ancient folklore that governed people's beliefs and superstitions about weather are considered, and present-day technologies used to predict the weather are presented. Historical storms are revisited (Katrina not included).
