Erik Durschmied鈥檚 The Weather Factor concentrates on disasters
brought about by natural events. It starts predictably with the biblical flood,
then it is catastrophes all the way. It is a riveting read, finishing with
eye-opening descriptions of recent and continuing attempts to control the
weather. As usual, most such experiments are aimed at providing military
advantage. Published by Hodder & Stoughton, 拢14.99, ISBN
