If you're one of those people who sits fascinated in front of the Weather Network for hours on end, then this is the book for you. David Laskin looks at the role weather has played in our history and how our culture has changed because of weather patterns. Braving the Elements is full of stories about hurricanes, blizzards, droughts and other disasters that challenge humankind. And because we're human, we read portents of doom into every event and allow them to shape the way we act, but rarely where we live. | Braving The Elements by David Laskin, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
