Download or read book Braving the Elements written by David Laskin and published by Anchor. This book was released on 1997-06-16 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nowhere in the world is weather as volatile and powerful as it is in North America. Scorching heat in the Southwest, hurricanes on the Atlantic coast, tornadoes in the Plains, blizzards in the mountains: Every area of the country has vastly different weather, and vastly different cultures as a result. Braving the Elements is David Laskin's delightful and fascinating history of how our unique weather has shaped a nation, and how we've tried to cope with it over centuries. Since before Columbus, the peoples of America have struggled to make sense of the capricious and violent nature of America's weather. Anasazi Indians used the rain dance (and sometimes human sacrifice) to induce rain, while the Puritans in New England blamed the sins of the community for lightening strikes and Nor'easters. IN modern times we carry on those traditions by blaming the weatherman for ruined weekends. Despite hi-tech satellites and powerful computers and 24-hour-a-day forecasting from The Weather Channel, we're still at the mercy of the whims of Mother Nature. Laskin recounts the many dramatic moments in American weather history, from the "Little Ice Age" to Ben Franklin's invention of the lightning rod to the Great Blizzard of the 1930's to the worries about global warming. Packed with fresh insights and wonderful lore and trivia, Braving the Elements is unique and essential reading for anyone who's ever asked, "What's it like outside?"

Book excerpt: Weather has shaped United States' culture, national character and folklore; at times it has changed the course of history. The seven accounts compiled in this publication highlight some of the nation's weather experiences from the hurricanes that threatened Christopher Columbus to the peculiar run of bad weather that has plagued American presidents on Inauguration Day. Also presented are meteorological phenomena encountered by people who documented weather and climate during the Revolutionary and Civil Wars and those who suffered through the "year without a summer," the Blizzard of '88, and the dustbowl drought of the 1930's. Numerous historical photographs illustrate the entries. (Author/WB).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces the major exchanges that have occurred since colonial times in the role of weather in life and livelihood in the U.S. The intent is to relate how shifts in ordinary human activities have been influenced and altered the significance of climate patterns -- patterns that have been far more stable than the society experiencing them -- development of weather science where appropriate. At times, persistent features of our climate and recurrent weather have acted as help or hindrance, hazard or resource. And as ways of life in country have changed, these features have become hazard o.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Weather: A Popular Exposition of the Phenomena of the Weather, Including Chapters on Hot and Cold Waves, Blizzards, Hail-Storms and Tornadoes, Etc;, Etc The object of this work is to give clearly and simply, without the use of mathematics, an idea of meteorology in general, supplemented by climatic data regarding temperature, rainfall, wind, and storms, especially of our own country. The examples cited in most modem works are, in great part, drawn from foreign sources, so that the author has felt the advisability of setting before the American public in some detail the fact that there can be found in the United States a varieties of weather. The delightful climate of the Riviera, the burning heats of the Sahara, and the eternal frosts of Siberia find their parallels within the broad confines of our Union. The violence of our tornadoes and hurricanes, the extremes of heat and cold, the absence of rain or its enormous superabundance, the number of storms, and the size of hail stones, together with the prolonged heated terms of summer and the phenomenal and extensive cold waves of winter, prove that one need not quit America to experience the most wondrous action of nature's forces. Ferrel's elaborate and mathematical treatise on meteorology covers very fully the scientific field at the present time, but the author knows of no plain and simple American book, other than that of Loomis, which that distinguished meteorologist has not rewritten in the light of our present knowledge.
