This is a lively, narrative history of the world's great weather tragedies - the greatest storms in history - and the epic quest by pioneering scientists to figure out how to accurately predict the weather. It tells the story of the development of meterology from the time of Aristotle up to current-day breakthroughs in weather prediction.
