Braving the Elements: The Stormy History of American Weather
by David Laskin

Americans are fascinated by weather. Whether we are sunbathers or storm-chasers, commuters or vacationers, the weather effects each of us every day. From native American rituals to the nightly news broadcast, author David Laskin offers humorous and captivating stories of hurricanes, droughts, blizzards, dust bowls, and other extremes that have afflicted the country. Braving the Elements is an entertaining history of how weather has changed Americans and shaped the nation.

"David Laskin has pulled off an amazing feat. He's rendered his tale not just unboring but fascinating, putting together a densely researched, fast-moving chronology that takes readers from Paleolithic concepts about natural phenomena to the computer-powered info-crunching performed by today's National Weather Service...Laskin approaches his subject with an infectious energy."
