A Furious Sky: The Five-Hundred-Year History of America’s Hurricanes

byEric Jay Dolin

Eric Jay Dolin uses A Furious Sky to investigate the Five-Hundred-Year History of America’s Hurricanes through a carefully framed historical account. The narrative identifies the people, decisions, and pressures that shaped the subject, then places those developments within the connected fields of history and nature. Throughout, the author balances an accessible narrative with the complexity needed to understand motives, constraints, and disputed interpretations. What emerges is a nuanced account of the subject, its immediate consequences, and its wider meaning. Historical context and individual experience remain equally important to the book's explanation.
