Editorial Review Product Description A fascinating look at extreme weather and the men and women who are risking their lives to give us a better understanding of this meteorological phenomenon. Customer Reviews (3)
An exhilarating history of meteorology
Informative but Ho-Hum Overall, "Eye of the Storm" has plenty of historical information, but the reading is unlikely to have the pulse quickening effect of even a mild spring thunderstorm.
Great reading on a stormy day |

Editorial Review Product Description Are you prepared for a hurricane that turns your home into rubble? An earthquake that leaves you and your family without shelter, food, or water? A flood that makes your home unlivable? Most people don't want to think about those things until it's too late. Ted Wright, who came of age in London during the Blitz of World War II, has extensive experience dealing with natural and man made disasters. He knows most problems occur after the disaster, not during it, and tells how to plan beforehand to enhance the chances of surviving the aftermath. This book covers a variety of possible disasters and considers almost any place one might happen to be when it strikes. In all cases, advance planning combined with relatively inexpensive preparations will greatly enhance your chances of survival, whether you are caught at home (including mobile homes and condos), at work, at school, or on the road. It even has a special distaster plan that elementary, juniour high, or high schools should not be without. With dozens of drawings and ideas, including food torpedoes, quake-resistant shelters, medicine chests, and water-storage trenches, this survival manual will be a life-saver for anyone caught in a major disaster.

Wright's Complete Disaster Survival Manual
great title and content
Awesome Resource
Not "complete" but still important info. None of us want to think about disasters, but they still happen. After reading this book I immediately made "72 hour kits" or "mobility bags" for every member of the family. I have one in the car along with a cheap crow-bar under the seat. I am making a kit for work and even gave them away as Christmas presents! It is my intention to stock a few critical supplies in a safe place in my yard in case the house collapses and my supplies are not safely reachable. This I do because of this book. I believe this book should be evaluated by every family, and some of the ideas about schools should be addressed by teachers, PTA members and legislators throughout the country. Great food for thought. Great food for action. Thank you Mr. Wright.
Excellent Book. Mr. Wright survived disasters in his long life, starting with his boyhood in war-torn Britain. Unlike other authors, who pontificate on theories and feelings, but who never lived through a disaster, Mr. Wright offers hard advice that may sound harsh and unappealing, but useful nonetheless. If you're a realist, and a practical sort, buy this book and share it with those whom you love. ... Read more |
