About this product
Product Information
A thrilling, innovative novel about the interplay between nature and humankind by the author of Names on the Land . With Storm , first published in 1941, George R. Stewart invented a new genre of fiction: the eco-novel. California has been plunged into drought throughout the summer and fall when a ship reports an unusual barometric reading from the far western Pacific. In San Francisco, a junior meteorologist in the Weather Bureau takes note of the anomaly and plots "an incipient little whorl" on the weather map, a developing storm, he suspects, that he privately dubs Maria. Stewart's novel tracks Maria's progress to and beyond the shores of the United States through the eyes of meteorologists, linemen, snowplow operators, a general, a couple of decamping lovebirds, and an unlucky owl, and the storm, surging and ebbing, will bring long-needed rain, flooded roads, deep snows, accidents, and death. Storm is an epic account of humanity's relationship to and dependence on the natural world.

Reviews
"Man versus nature, and the ability of humans to cope under environmental stress, are Stewart's two obsessions. He is at once a chronicler of the achievements and architectures of modern civilization and an ecological fatalist. . . . In Storm , he went so far as to write what he called a biography of the weather." --Christine Smallwood, The Nation "Weather is here for the first time given the importance in fiction that it has in fact. . . . It is impossible to forget, anywhere in the novel, the impending weight of that mighty movement of the air. . . . Stewart with admirable ingenuity and sure craftsmanship has let us look for a moment at the mortar that holds a civilization together. A good many of his readers will never again . . . note a cloud without remembering at least momentarily that the air, not the earth, is our mortal home." --Wallace Stegner, The Boston Globe "The storm itself . . . becomes absorbing as few human characters, in fiction, ever are. It is a splendid job of research and design." -- Time " Storm is considered the first of its kind, paving the way for an entire genre of fiction, the eco-novel. Fans of The Overstory will be transfixed with this reissue, which follows the storm every day of its existence as we would a volatile and dramatic character, and leaves us with a renewed awareness of the interconnectedness of our mysterious and awe-inspiring world." --Julia Hass, Lit Hub "A massive winter storm brings destruction, peril, and death to drought-plagued California....A new introduction by Nathaniel Rich provides historical context for Stewart's reissued classic, first published in 1941. Pure excitement for eco-fiction fans." -- Kirkus , starred review "[ Storm 's] very structure is anti-anthropocentric. Unfolding over twelve chapters, each corresponding to a different day, the novel proceeds mosaic-like. . . . Everything, both manmade and natural, is connected in Storm 's ecosystem; everything that happens has wide-ranging consequences, the butterfly effect in full force." --Andrew Schenker, The Baffler "Unlike anything else out there." --Stuart Miller, The Orange County Register, "The storm itself . . . becomes absorbing as few human characters, in fiction, ever are. It is a splendid job of research and design." -- Time, "Man versus nature, and the ability of humans to cope under environmental stress, are Stewart's two obsessions.

This is what Stewart's work conveys at its best: a sense of humility and an appreciation of the contingent status of our own species, endlessly threatened as it is by a relentless, hostile nature. . . Stewart's body of work feels proleptically tailored to an era of catastrophic ecological decline. . . . Storm is a dense web of accidents, a vast orchestral work in which each moving part bespeaks an organic relationship to the whole." --Matthew Sherrill, Harper's

The ordering process was easy and fast and the price was good. I did not have to wait long for delivery; the book was well packaged and arrived in excellent condition. It was listed on the website as "very good" but it actually looked brand new. All in all, very pleased with the entire experience and will definitely use ebay again.
