Storm Chaser, In Pursuit of Untamed Skies, is an exceptional book that encompasses the heart and soul of anyone who's ever had a love affair with Mother Nature. By combining photography that parallels with your coffee-table-type art book, hard-core science thats comparable with a meteorology text book, and a heart-warming tale of a misguided collegeyouth hitting the big-time, Storm Chaser instigates every bit of adrenaline the author must experience as he put's his life on the line to chase and photograph Mother Nature's evils.
Written by Warren Faidley, Storm Chaser is an autobiography of sorts, walking the reader down an exciting path of the life and times of what is billed as the "world's only full-time, professional storm photographer."
Published in time to correspond with the peak of the severe weather season, and the motion picture release of "Twister", of which Faidley contributed photography to, Storm Chaser captures the excitement and awe of chasing tornadoes, hurricanes, and lightning strikes.
Storm Chaser is divided into various subsections, each filled with more excitement than the last, brought to life by way of fascinating photography. Each section highlights significant personal events Faidley was involved in...ranging from his first literal run-in with a dust-devil to his experience in a Miami suburb parking deck during the onslaught of Hurricane Andrew. Regardless of the topic, Faidley brings a certain amount of charm and humor to each of his anecdotes about his personal dealings with Mother Nature.
