Isaac's storm : a man, a time, and the deadliest hurricane in history / Erik Larson. New York : Crown Publishers, 1999. 323 p. ; 24 cm. Illustrated end papers. Includes bibliographical references and index. In the early 1900s, Isaac Cline was a scientist who believed he knew all there was to know about the motion of clouds and the behavior of storms. The idea that a hurricane could damage Galveston, where he was based, was to him preposterous. Based on Cline's own letters, telegrams, reports, the testimony of scores of survivors, and our latest understanding of the hows and whys of great storms, it is the story of what can happen when human arrogance meets nature's last uncontrollable force.
