Book Description
A breathtakingly illustrated, fascinating exploration of the mysteries of weather and its impact on our world. From earliest times, people have tried to predict the weather--and escape its wrath. In spite of our sophisticated technology today, daily weather conditions still occasionally confound expert forecasts. What's more, weather in one of its extreme moods, like a hurricane or tornado, still has the force to wreck homes, disrupt power, food and water supplies and wreak havoc in our world. How does the weather work? What separates rainy drizzle from deluges, and gentle breezes from catastrophic typhoons? How does weather drive the cycle of the seasons? How does it shape life in different climates? How is our climate changing? The Weather and Its Secrets explores such intriguing questions. Brimming with breathtaking illustrations and fascinating facts, this book delves into the wonders of weather and reveals its pivotal role in our planet.
- Air Power: The furies of hurricanes have been clocked at speeds of 200 mph.
- Hot Spots: California's Death Valley sizzles with temperatures of 134 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Desert Floods: Torrential downpours have even visited the heart of the Kalahari desert.

SEARCH & RESCUE NARRATIVES!.......2007-03-29
As a technical mountain search and rescue team member, the narratives included in all of the "Accidents" series are great training tools, as well as concrete evidence of the dangers inherent in mountaineering. For the mountaineer or flatlander, these texts are simply great entertainment. My only criticism- this volume, as well as many others, tends to focus on the mountaineering accidents that occur in the Rockies and Pacific Coast.
Book Description
The classic source for 50 years of climbing-related accidents.
• Covers mountaineering accidents from Denali to Yosemite
• Tale-telling book relied on by climbers of all levels
This annual investigative handbook offers detailed reports on climbing accidents that occurred in the United and Canada in 2002. Produced jointly by the Safety Committees of the American Alpine Club and the Alpine Club of Canada, Accidents in North American Mountaineering details what happened and analyzes what went wrong in each situation to give mountaineers the opportunity to learn from others' mistakes.

Customer Reviews:
Essential for climbers.......2005-08-20
Every climber alive should read "Accidents" every year, because it's the best way to learn what you should not do. (For all other climbers, it's too late.) It also makes you aware how easy it is for one tiny slip to become dangerous or fatal, and when those slips are most likely to happen. Besides, it satisfies the morbid curiosity most of us have about other people's accidents at the same time that it serves an educational purpose. Whats not to love about a book like that?
