Recenzje

Though tornadoes seem to exist outside of history, Peter Thuesen shows, in this first serious historical study of U.S. tornadoes, that these storms have deeply challenged everyone from theologians to scientists to confront their vulnerability in the face of violent natural forces. The perfect book to curl up with in a world increasingly wracked by extreme weather.
