Review
J. Madeline Nash calls upon her vast experience as a science writer to comprehensively explain the origin and effects of El Niño in an appealing narrative style. "El Niño" is a globe trotting, compelling adventure that reveals the epidemics, droughts, fires and epic storms precipitated by this powerful "child" of the ocean. Nash also introduces the reader to the science and scientists from around the world who are working to understand and predict El Niño's world-wide effects.
