Self-Serving Capitalism in Action: Buy The Tri-State Tornado and Soul of the Sky

Below is the cover of Soul of the Sky: Exploring the Human Side of Weather (Mt. Washington Observatory Press, 1999). It's a slightly different kind of weather book in which quite a few authors, myself included, explore the ways in which weather has shaped their lives. In "Return to Irving," I describe a visit to a Kansas ghost town that was decimated by two tornadoes on May 30, 1879. I won't review the book myself, but an interesting commentary can be found here.
