Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. Minor edge and corner wear; no dj; lightly scuffed and scratched; corners are lightly bumped and rubbed; some light shelf wear; ex-library with the usual library markings; overall a nice used copy! Very rare and hard-to-find title! Black and white pictorial boards with green and black lettering. Extremely scarce and out-of-print FIRST EDITION! 1326 historical and informative pages nicely enhanced by black and white photographs and illustrations! "Nothing in the earth's atmosphere, perhaps nothing in all of nature, so uniquely combines spectacle, terror, and random violence against unsuspectjng and innocent people as the tornado. Few other phenomena can form so quickly, vanish so suddenly, leave behind such misery, and yet still be seen as beautiful. The tornado is a relatively orderly structure, spawned in the chaotic disorder of a thunderstorm. Through mysteries of physical chemistry and fluid dynamics, it can maintain itself for over an hour, while scouring the earth with winds of 200 mph.". Seller Inventory # 052042

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. Very Near to Fine condition hardcover. No dust jacket as issued. Book is square and sound. Completely clean inside and out with no creases, marks or damage to pages. No rub wear to edges. The book's only flaws are extremely minor: two corners that are just very slightly bumped and very slight peeling of lamination at the top edge of the spine. This book is a must-have for anyone with a serious interest in tornadoes. Just about every significant tornado that has occurred in the United States since colonial times is recorded along with a brief description gleaned from local newspaper accounts and other sources, plus the time of day, the length and width of the storm's trajectory, the extent of damage, and the number of people killed or injured. It is really a masterpiece of meteorological research. I will carefully pack it bubble-wrap and ship it in a sturdy box to ensure safe delivery. The book is very heavy so shipment outside of the United States would require considerable extra funds. Seller Inventory # ABR36
