Softcover. Condition: As New. The title of this work reflects its focus on the media's coverage of the event that was El Nino. Highlighting the 14 months when it became a nationally known news story, the book explores both meteorological topics (causes, forecasting, relation to global warming) and socioeconomic perspectives (storm damage, media hype, energy production and use). This is an accessible work that will appeal to students, professors, policy-makers, and weather enthusiasts.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book will cover the time span from the first indicaitons of ElNino (May 1997) until its reversal (June 1998). The focus is largelyon the United States, where El Nino produced widespread changes in howthe public perceives weather and in the accuracy of forecasts. Amongthe key issues examined are how the news media interpreted anddramatized El Nino and the reaction both of the public anddecision-makers (the latter based on interviews with agribusinessutilities, water management agencies, etc.); the scientific issuesemerging from the event; and the social and economic consequences ofthe event. Finally, it will suggest what can and should be done whenEl Nino occurs in the future.
