"Is it Hot in Here? should be required reading! This book takes the complicated topic of global warming and breaks it down for the layman. Nathan doesn't stand on a soapbox-he presents a fair and balanced argument for the climate of our world. If you live in a red state or a blue state, if you hug trees or drive a Hummer, this book is for you." -Josh Rubenstein, Meteorologist KCBS/KCAL Los Angeles "Nathan Cool's is perhaps the most thoughtful, comprehensive, well-written and accessible study of global warming I've ever read. If Is it Hot in Here? were being taught in high schools and colleges, we might not be suffering through this problem at all." -Aaron Kenedi, Editor-in-Chief Shift Magazine "This is the book for those who want to learn about issues related to global warming. The reader isn't pushed around by conspiracy theorists, jargoned scientists, aggressive environmentalists or people with agendas.rather, the nuts and bolts of the science, scientific process, political realities, and main debates over global warming are spelled out." -David B. Field, Oceanographer, Ph.D. Scripps Institution of Oceanography "With an informative and entertaining style, Nathan cuts through the many confusing and contradictory dialogues swarming around the global warming debate. When you read it, you'll see that it's not just the-sky-is-falling environmentalists who should be paying attention to voices like Cool's." -Gwen Mickelson, Santa Cruz Sentinel

Forecast Meteorologist Nathan Cool tells the story of how record-breaking ocean waves, weather and winds -- starting in 2015 from the strongest El Niño ever recorded -- carved a path of destruction, which persisted over the next few years. Once colossal waves crashed on the shores of Hawaii and the west coast of the U.S., floods soon followed, setting the stage for California's worst fire season and devastating mudslides. Far from being a one-off occurrence, a years-long ripple effect, sparked by the mega El Niño of 2015-16, had devastatingly fatal consequences. Once mammoth waves battered coastlines, intense storms bore down on Hawaii, California, Oregon, Texas, and the Caribbean, leading to a deadly cycle of multi-seasonal weather that wiped out homes, blocked roadways, burned livestock, and buried people alive. All the while, mistakes by officials overseeing the safety of their communities exacerbated the tragedies that unfolded. Recounting storms play-by-play from their origins to their final -- and often fatal -- destinations, Nathan tells the true stories of not just what happened from El Niño and its years-long aftermath, but also why so many were affected, often needlessly, from the results of Surf, Flood, Fire & Mud.

Have you ever wondered where surfing waves come from, what makes every wave different, why some peel perfectly and others just close out; why, some days, the waves come in sets and other days they don’t, and how the tides, the wind and the shape of the sea floor affect the waves for surfing? If you have, this book is for you. Now in its third edition, Surf Science is the first book to talk in depth about the science of waves from a surfer’s point of view. It fills the gap between surfing books and waves textbooks, and will help you learn how to predict surf. Surf Science is also a useful introduction to oceanography and the science of waves. You don’t need a scientific background to read it – just curiosity and a fascination for waves.

"Cold-water surfing, the most remote surf spots, spectacular photography, illustrations, and custom boards: Surf Odyssey documents the modern cult of surfing as its own subculture and way of life. There's much more to surfing than palm trees and beach boy cliches. People surf not only in Hawaii, but also in Norway, South Korea, and India. Surf Odyssey is a book about the world of surfing today and those that live in it. This community is made up of the surfers themselves as well as surf photographers and board builders who are also spreading its distinctive spirit into other creative fields. Comparable to the new outdoor movement, today's surfing is about an attitude toward life, a lust for adventure, and a love of nature that one can only find far away from established spots. Surf Odyssey presents this scene's places, people, stories, and brands. Its stunning photography is sure to inspire many further surfing exploits."
