Inhaltsangabe

Reveals the mysterious sources of El Nino & its far-reaching effects on the lives of people around the world. Shows how this vast climatic upheaval unites diverse disasters ranging from the worst outbreak of Rift Valley fever on record in East Africa, to intense forest fires on Borneo, to the accelerated shrinking of an ice cap in the Andes 18,700 high. Tells us about meteorologists, glaciologists, biologists, archaeologists, & others whose observations & research have added to our knowledge of El Nino. Shows how seemingly unconnected pieces have gradually, over a century, revealed a picture of what scientists call ENSO: the El Nino Southern Oscillation -- a planet-spanning force produced by the interplay of wind & water with the power to unhinge the world.
