商品簡介
Monmonier (geography, Syracuse U.) provides an understanding as well as a meteorological and scientific cartography-based history of the weather phenomenon known as lake-effect snow, in which snows falls heavily for anywhere from minutes to days. He also addresses its societal impacts, how it was identified, and how communities in lake-effect areas have adapted to the intense and abrupt disruptions. Despite what one might expect to be a heavily technical book, the writing is clear and accessible and numerous explanatory descriptions are included.
