The Long Summer: How Climate Changed Civilization – Review
This is the book a weather nut like me originally wished he had previously thought to write first. Great maps and photos, records of data, and he asks for corrections, publishing them, with updates, at www.extremeweatherguide.com . The photos, such as Lincoln, NE, summer 1936, are spectacular, as are his colored maps of everything (wettest and driest spots by state is one example). He even has NYC data from the mid 19th Century, with “the day that never got above zero” Now that takes some hunting to dig up. A major gift, as well as a great resource. All libraries, as well as anyone interested in the weather should have a copy.
