| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Blizzards have a special place in weather lore -- bringing high winds, subzero temps and feet of snow to areas affected. Often the true extent of the damage is not realized until weeks or months after the blustery snow has melted. This book looks at the most infamous blizzards of modern history and the surrounding science of one of nature's most powerful natural disasters. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge. |
