From extraordinary tornadoes to historic hurricanes, remarkable floods, geomagnetic storms, and close-calls with lightning, Reed captures not only the mercilessness of America's sometimes deadly weather, but also the magnificence and meaning behind the tempests.</div> <div style="text-align: left; margin-left: 40px;"> </div> <div style="text-align: left; margin-left: 40px;">Newly released as a paperback with 16 pages of new material (totaling 208 pages with 194 color photographs), this revised edition of <em>Storm Chaser</em> provides even more incredible images and the astonishing stories behind them. Reed tells the story of traveling through more than two thousand U.S. counties in his trusty Ford Explorer. He describes what it feels like to be inside the eye of a monstrous hurricane, and more.</div> <div style="text-align: left; margin-left: 40px;"> </div> <div style="text-align: left; margin-left: 40px;">The hardcover edition of <em>Storm Chaser</em> received critical acclaim and wide media attention. The New York Times wrote, "These are the images that demonstrate the heart of weather's primal draw, and that hold the power to make weather fanatics out of even those of us whose first instinct is to run."</div> <div style="text-align: left; margin-left: 40px;"> </div> <div style="text-align: left; margin-left: 40px;">STORM CHASER: A Photographer's Journey</div> <div style="text-align: left; margin-left: 40px;">By Jim Reed</div> <div style="text-align: left; margin-left: 40px;">Release Date: May 1, 2009</div> <div style="text-align: left; margin-left: 40px;">US $19.95 / CA $21.95 / UK £ 10.99</div> <!--StartFragment--> <div style="text-align: left; margin-left: 40px;"> </div> <div style="text-align: left; margin-left: 40px;"> </div> <div style="text-align: left; margin-left: 40px;"> </div> <div style="text-align: left; margin-left: 40px;"> </div> <div style="text-align: left; margin-left: 40px;"> </div> <div style="text-align: left; margin-left: 40px;"> </div> <div style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: center;"> </div> <div style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: center;"> </div> <div style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: center;"><img width="482" height="150" src="/users/JimReed4147/Image//filmstrip_150.jpg" alt="" /></div> <div style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: center;"> </div> <div style="text-align: left; margin-left: 40px;"> </div> <div style="text-align: left; margin-left: 40px;"> </div> <div style="text-align: left; margin-left: 40px;"> </div> <div style="text-align: left; margin-left: 40px;"> </div> <div style="text-align: left; margin-left: 40px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The Author</span></div> <div style="text-align: left; margin-left: 40px;"><!--StartFragment--> <p style="" class="MsoNormal"><!--StartFragment--></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Best known for his stunning one-of-a-kind atmospheric portraits of America's changing climate, weather photographer Jim Reed has spent nearly two decades creating an award-winning distinctive body of work. Artist, photojournalist, and storm chaser, Jim has captured almost every type of meteorological phenomena -- including tornadoes, blizzards, electrical storms, curtains of hail, and floods. He has survived the direct landfall of seventeen historic hurricanes, including Katrina.</p> <p style="" class="MsoNormal"><!--StartFragment--></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Clearly Jim is much more than a storm chaser who risks his life to create iconic images of extreme weather. He’s a heartfelt environmentalist whose real mission is to encourage us all to adopt a more healthful and prudent lifestyle in dealing with this era of increasing weather challenges. He has appeared on Good Morning America, The Today Show, CNN, The Discovery Channel, The Weather Channel, and numerous other TV and radio programs.
