Hollingshead, Mike & Nguyen, Eric. Adventures in tornado alley; the storm chasers.

By Julian, Janet
Publication: Kliatt
Date: Tuesday, July 1 2008

HOLLINGSHEAD, Mike & NGUYEN, Eric. Adventures in tornado alley; the storm chasers. Thames & Hudson, 188p. illus, c2008.9780-500-28737-8. $29.95. J S A *

Two storm chasers offer 340 stunning color photos of wild weather in the Midwest and add excerpts from the diaries they kept. Readers

are treated to amazing views of lightning, threatening supercells, tornadoes, rainbows, blowing dust, auroras, and hail. Dr. Charles Doswell adds a final chapter explaining how tornados form, complete with several diagrams. But the stars here are the photos, which capture the majesty of weather phenomena. In the acknowledgments Hollingshead refers to Nguyen's tragic death. Students who delve further will discover that at age 29 Eric Nguyen committed suicide, stunning his colleagues. His loss is doubly tragic because he was a man of exceptional photographic talent. Janet Julian, English Teacher (retired), Grafton, MA
