Produktbeschreibungen

From Booklist

Gr. 4^-8. Science teachers and students will appreciate this very readable introduction to the El Nino current. In just 48 pages, Arnold explains the complex relationship between the warming of the Pacific current and global weather patterns, describes the effects of the most recent El Nino and notable ones of the past, and discusses the tracking and forecasting of the phenomenon and the importance of scientists' predictions. Difficult concepts and terms are defined in the text and, again, in a glossary, and attractive, full-color photographs and diagrams clearly show El Nino's disruptive effects. A brief listing of suggested resources, including periodical articles, children's books, and the Internet address of the Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere (TOGA) program, where up-to-date information can be obtained, is appended. Chris Sherman

From School Library Journal

Grade 5-9-The phenomenon known as El Ni?o (and its cooler sibling, La Ni?a) have apparently been upsetting the meteorological applecart on a relatively regular basis for many centuries, but it is only recently, with the use of modern technologies, that scientists have correlated these oceanic effects with disconcertingly dramatic weather on a global scale as well. Arnold has drawn on this body of scientific knowledge to present a picture of the atmospheric and ecological import of such shifts in oceanic temperatures. Her readable, informative text describes the physical symptoms of El Ni?o and La Ni?a and their widespread effects, ranging from a quiet hurricane season in Florida to severe drought in the rainforests of Indonesia, and what this means both to animal/plant habitats and human economies. Full-color photos, a computer-image series, diagrams, and Internet sources bolster the narrative. (Unfortunately, the text is sometimes printed across page-size photos, making deciphering difficult.) While the latest, very powerful El Ni?o has made headlines for over a year, this is seemingly the first book for young people in this important area of study. And though La Ni?a now seems to be in the ascendancy, El Ni?o will return-as will demand for information on the topic.

Good product reached me atlast.......... 31. März 2010

All well that ends well........ Thats the experience I had and in the end I'm happy to use the service of Amazon. I ordered this book 'El Nino' long back in December, it was scheduled to reach me in the following month by end of january but somehow it didn't reach at all. I wrote back to Amazon and they took the action instantaneously, they re-ordered my book, re-shipped and upgraded the shipping/postal option. Actually for the second time I didn't have to pay at all. And in the end the book finally reached me and in good condition........ so im happy with the product and Amazon service. Though I have to pay 0.33 USD to the post-man but it didn't hurt at all......... haahahaahahaa

Caroline Arnold does it again with her book El Nino: Stormy Weather for People and Wildlife. Arnold incorporates images, created by satellites, to show the cause and effect of El Nino. After discussing the weather phenomenon itself, she then surveys the effect it has on wildlife and the connection it has to diseases, past and future. A great book for all ages.
