Sommario/riassunto |
|
This updated edition synthesizes research from many fields to offer a complete history of the roles played by weather and climate in American life from colonial times to the present. Author William B. Meyer characterizes weather events as neutral phenomena that are inherently neither hazards nor resources, but can become either depending on the activities with which they interact. |
