This story of hurricanes in the 20th Century--how they form, how scientists study them, how people prepare for them--is illustrated with photographs, diagrams, and maps and contains a list of books for further reading. |
Teaching Ideas: |
Students might construct a matrix of the major hurricanes mentioned in the book with columns for location, date, extent of damage and add researched information on a more recent storm. Areas of interest for discussion and writing include the cycle of destruction and regrowth, safety precautions and evacuation plans, and comparisons to forest fires.
