Requests:  0 Summary:  When Indonesia's Mount Tambora erupted in 1815, it unleashed the most destructive wave of extreme weather the world has witnessed in thousands of years. The volcano's massive sulfate dust cloud enveloped the Earth, cooling temperatures and disrupting major weather systems for more than three years. Amid devastating storms, drought, and floods, communities worldwide endured famine, disease, and civil unrest on a catastrophic scale. On the eve of the bicentenary of the great eruption, Tambora tells the extraordinary story of the weather chaos it wrought, weaving the latest climate science with the social history of this frightening period to offer a cautionary tale about the potential tragic impacts of drastic climate change in our own century.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 363.3495 Wo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 363.3495 Wo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 363.3495 Wo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 363.3495 Wo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waianae Public Library Adult Nonfiction 363.3495 Wo Checked In Add Copy to MyList
