Description
Summary:	Blue Diamond Books DETAILS: 399 pp., $32.95 cloth, 2007 ISBN-13:978-0-9786280-0-0 ISBN-10: 0-9786280-0-4 The first thing that I noticed as I opened this lavishly illustrated black-and-white chronology of hurricanes in the Middle Atlantic States (which the author defines as Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia) is the blurb on the cover jacket stating that "after waiting nearly four decades for a reference like this, Mr. Schwartz wrote it himself." Explanatory information at the beginning gives a brief discussion of tropical cyclone characteristics (rain, storm surge, tornadoes, etc.), the Saffir-Simpson hurricane scale, and the naming procedures for tropical cyclones.
