SUMMARY:The Furious Sky: The Five-Hundred-Year History of America's Hurricanes
DESCRIPTION:Hurricanes menace North America from June through November every year\, each as powerful as 10\,000 nuclear bombs. These megastorms will likely become more intense as the planet continues to warm\, yet we too often treat them as local disasters and TV spectacles\, unaware of how far-ranging their impact can be. In this illustrated talk\, best-selling historian Eric Jay Dolin contends we must look to our nation’s past if we hope to comprehend the consequences of the hurricanes of the future.\nFrom the moment European colonists laid violent claim to this land\, hurricanes have had a profound and visceral impact on American history. Dolin presents the five-hundred-year story of American hurricanes\, from the nameless storms that threatened Columbus’ New World voyages\, to the devastation wrought by Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico and the escalation of hurricane season as a result of global warming. Populating his narrative with unlikely heroes such as Benito Viñes\, the nineteenth- century Jesuit priest whose revelatory methods for predicting hurricanes saved countless lives\, and journalist Dan Rather\, whose coverage of a 1961 hurricane would change broadcasting history\, Dolin uncovers the often surprising ways we respond to natural crises. \nTime: Saturday\, October 8\, 2022 @ 4:00 – 5:00 P.M.\nPlace: at the Museum\, 2nd Floor\nThe talk will be in person and virtual. \nDUE TO LIMITED SEATING\, PLEASE RESERVE YOUR SEAT BY CALLING (631) 788-7239 OR EMAILING THE MUSEUM. \nFor virtual access\, no advance registration is required.  \nJoin webinar\nOr One tap mobile :\nUS: +16465588656\,\,86291720380#  or +16469313860\,\,86291720380#\nOr Telephone:\nDial(for higher quality\, dial a number based on your current location):\nUS: +1 646 558 8656  or +1 646 931 3860  or +1 312 626 6799  or +1 301 715 8592  or +1 309 205 3325  or +1 386 347 5053  or +1 564 217 2000  or +1 669 444 9171  or +1 669 900 9128  or +1 719 359 4580  or +1 253 215 8782  or +1 346 248 7799\nWebinar ID: 862 9172 0380\nInternational numbers available: https://us02web.zoom.us/u/kdCq1Io0X \nWatch the book trailer:
