AUTHOR
SUMMARY
As long as they're safely distant, tornadoes are one of the most fascinating and dramatic phenomena weather has to offer. Simon provides a succinct yet vivid introduction to twisters, filling his text with memorable accounts of flattened cities and unusual tornadic effects ("A tornado once sucked up a pond full of frogs and rained them down on a nearby town."); he also offers technical information about tornado formation and measurement and explodes some tornado myths. The photographs of tornadoes in situ and the devastating after aftereffects are memorable indeed; often the images are bleeds on full pages or double spreads, providing a stormy backdrop for the text that describes them.Simon, Seymour is the author of 'Tornadoes', published 2001 under ISBN 9780064437912 and ISBN 0064437914.
