The Weather Phenomenon that Changed the World
A man is bitten by a rattle snake in Montana. A hurricane rips through Mexico. A turtle lays an egg on a Pacific island. An epidemic of Rift Valley fever breaks out in Kenya. At last the conductor that has been orchestrating these, and thousands of other seemingly random incidents, has been unmasked. His name is El Nino.
This revelatory book is packed with surprises as it pieces together an amazing jigsaw, tracing El Nino's impact through the centuries, uncovering its influence on world events, cultures, and the animal kingdom. And as evidence of global warming mounts, this fascinating quest to get to the heart of El Nino warns that the world may suffer stronger and more frequent El Ninos and the frightening weather extremes that come with them.
No one with an investment in the future can afford to miss this book.
