Book excerpt: The saga of the greatest tornado chaser who ever lived: a tale of obsession and daring and an extraordinary account of humanity’s high-stakes race to understand nature’s fiercest phenomenon from Brantley Hargrove, “one of today’s great science writers” (The Washington Post). At the turn of the twenty-first century, the tornado was one of the last true mysteries of the modern world. It was a monster that ravaged the American heartland a thousand times each year, yet science’s every effort to divine its inner workings had ended in failure. Researchers all but gave up, until the arrival of an outsider. In a field of PhDs, Tim Samaras didn’t attend a day of college in his life. He chased storms with brilliant tools of his own invention and pushed closer to the tornado than anyone else ever dared. When he achieved what meteorologists had deemed impossible, it was as if he had snatched the fire of the gods. Yet even as he transformed the field, Samaras kept on pushing. As his ambitions grew, so did the risks. And when he finally met his match—in a faceoff against the largest tornado ever recorded—it upended everything he thought he knew. Brantley Hargrove delivers a “cinematically thrilling and scientifically wonky” (Outside) tale, chronicling the life of Tim Samaras in all its triumph and tragedy. Hargrove takes readers inside the thrill of the chase, the captivating science of tornadoes, and the remarkable character of a man who walked the line between life and death in pursuit of knowledge. The Man Who Caught the Storm is an “adrenaline rush of a tornado chase…Readers from all across the spectrum will enjoy this” (Library Journal, starred review) unforgettable exploration of obsession and the extremes of the natural world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many months after Hurricane Katrina, life in New Orleans meant negotiating streets strewn with debris and patrolled by the United States Army. Most of the city was without power. Emptied and ruined houses, businesses, schools, and churches stretched for miles through once thriving neighborhoods. Almost immediately, however, die-hard New Orleanians began a homeward journey. A travelogue through this surreal landscape, A Season of Night: New Orleans Life after Katrina offers a deeply intimate, firsthand account of that homecoming. After the floodwaters drained, author Ian McNulty returned to live on the second floor of his wrecked house without electricity or neighbors. For months his sanity was writing this book on a laptop by candlelight. By turns haunting, inspiring, and darkly comic, this memoir offers a behind-the-headlines story of resilience and renewal. From bittersweet camaraderie in the wreckage to depression and violent rampages in the lawless night to the first flickers of cultural revival and the explosive joy of a post-Katrina Mardi Gras, A Season of Night delivers an unprecedented tale from the wounded but always enthralling Crescent City.

Book excerpt: Hurricane Irma was the strongest observed hurricane in the Atlantic in terms of maximum sustained winds. A Category 5 storm, it savagely pummeled the U.S. and British Virgin Islands on September 6, 2017, a day many will never forget. When one has survived a storm of this magnitude, they are forever changed. What they experienced can never be justified by words or photos. From the sounds of the ripping winds and roofs peeling away, to the first glimpses of the devastation when they emerge from their safe havens, to seeing strangers hugging and helping each other, the journey of what a survivor remembers, processes, and holds onto is never-ending. The healing process from tragedy takes a different shape and form for everyone. Healing After Irma is a collection of stories and photos of those affected by Hurricane Irma. It was created by Anne Bequette, a photographer and Irma survivor residing on St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Anne conceived this project to preserve a written record of what unfolded that day and to give people a voice and outlet for their grief. She wanted those affected to know they weren't alone in their distress, and to help them remember any positive aspect of their survival. She invited all participants to step in front of her camera and share a message or bring an object that survived the storm. Included in the invitation were all those on the mainland who submitted their own stories and photos. The book includes tales of both terror and triumph, from a first-hand account of taking cover for five-and-a-half hours in a roofless shower stall as the cement walls blew down, to the story of an engagement ring salvaged from a sunken boat three months after Irma. Alongside photographs of the destruction is a photo of a boy holding a sign thanking his Daddy for carrying him to safety after their roof blew away. Together they form a powerful display of resilience, hope, and healing. From the Author, published photographer in the New York Times & People Magazine: "When Irma hit, I was crammed in a utility closet with 17 other people and 5 dogs. With outside winds in excess of 200mph, I was convinced I was going to die. It was the most terrifying experience of my life, and every single day there is something that triggers that terror. I, myself, needed to find a way to channel the trauma from it, so I picked up my camera, and the idea of this project was born. While photographing it, and later while working on this book, there were many times I had to walk away. I'd bawl my eyes out, and then get right back at it. The storm alone was enough to endure, and then reliving it again through the submitted stories and verbal accounts was emotionally heavy, but so rewarding. The underlying message here is one of survival and hope. Hearing the experiences of Irma made me realize that so many people, from all walks of life, came to the same realization that despite all that was lost, we gained strength, love, and each other to lean on. This community has grown tighter and stronger, and can withstand any storm. I hope this book leaves you feeling extra appreciative of everything that matters to you in this life. Grab a tissue, grab your loved ones, and hold on tight. After all, they're all that matters." - Anne Bequette

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the Internet is an important source for locating photographic images, there still are hundreds of photography books published each year for whose contents there is no external access. This second supplement to Photography Books Index addresses this need by analyzing important photographic anthologies that have been published since 1985. Accessing more than fifty photographic anthologies that are widely held in libraries across the country--along with images from two critical annual compilations, Best of Photojournalism and Graphis Annual--this book identifies photographs that record the history of our times. This reference guide provides an important index to contemporary as well as historical photographers, including those for whom full monographs have not been published. Photographs of important individuals as well as photographic records of cataclysmic events can be located through this index. Extensive descriptions of the individual photographs--from the commonplace to the extraordinary--are identified in this volume. Organized into three sections--Photographers, Subjects of Photographs, and Portraits of Named Individuals--these descriptions provide the researcher with important information on each photograph. An essential volume for all public, special and academic libraries, this index will be an invaluable resource for reporters, historians, academics, students and anyone wishing to research photographs and photographers.

Book excerpt: "Autumn gales have pursued mariners across the Great Lakes for centuries. On Friday, November 7, 1913, those gales captured their prey. After four days of winds up to 90 miles an hour, freezing temperatures, whiteout blizzard conditions, and mountainous seas, 19 ships had been lost, two dozen had been thrown ashore, 238 sailors were dead, and the city of Cleveland was confronting the worst natural disaster in its history. Writer and mariner David G. Brown combines narrative intensity with factual depth to re-create the events of the "perfect storm" that struck America's heartland."--Publisher's description
