Wherever he touches down, he informs and amuses, and marvels not only at the weather, but also at the stranger side of Middle America." National Geographic Why do some people chase the kind of storms that would send most people running for their lives? Why does devastating weather maintain a primal hold on our collective imagination? With Matt Biddle, an Ahab-like veteran storm chaser, as his guide, Mark Svenvold draws a portrait of a culture enamored by extremes during a 6,000-mile journey through the heartland. Along the way, he encounters an assortment of eccentric characters, including a duo named the Twister Sisters and an IMAX filmmaker who drives an armor-plated truck. And they're all after one thing. At the heart of the excitement are the awe-inspiring events themselves a tornado that levels a small Nebraska town, wild twisters that spin cars into the air and, in the case of unlucky Donald Staley, destroy three of his homes in succession. An entertaining narrative brimming with stylish prose, Big Weather is a wryly observed meditation on the weather and the subculture of catastrophilia, the culture and commerce of catastrophic weather.., Henry Holt & Company, 2005, 4.5, London: Pan Books 1979 First Pan Paperback Printing ISBN 0-330-25661-0, 1979 VG+ Light edgewear, a touch of rubbing to covers, Store-stamp inside front & rear covers, former owner's name to front fly page, otherwise an attractive copy, very clean throughout.
