Great book with great info that should be read by anyone who is interested in the history and science of tropical cyclones. It contains extensive chapters on the various historical eras since hurricane records have been kept, as well some pretty heavy scientific chapters on topics such as hurricane recon flights as well as computer modeling.
The only draw back to this book is that it's a bit outdated now, covering only the period ending in 2000. However, it's interesting to look back now and see the author's warnings about future US hurricanes reflected in names we now know like Katrina, Rita, and Ike.
I would love to see a supplement or new edition to this book with info on recent storm seasons, still, it deserves a respected place on the shelf of anyone interested in tropical weather.
