| 520 | |a The February 1952 snowstorm that blanketed New England offers a valuable reminder about nature's capacity for destruction as well as insight into the human instinct for preservation. Housewives and lobstermen, loggers and soldiers were all trapped as snow piled in drifts twenty feet high. The storm smothered hundreds of travelers in their cars, covered entire towns, and broke ships in half. In the midst of the blizzard's chaos, there were remarkable acts of heroism and courageous generosities. It is likely that none of us know how we would handle a confrontation with a blizzard or other natural disaster. Pelletier shows that we have it inside to fight for survival in some of the harshest conditions that nature has to offer. - adapted from jacket | ||
