About this book

Prior to 1997, hardly anyone outside the region knew the seasonal current that Peruvians had nicknamed El Niño. Once scientists connected it to flooding in California and drought in Indonesia, along with unusual weather elsewhere, its name spread into everyday talk.

The book's subtitle describes a change from an enchanting Peruvian current into a global climate hazard. The catalogue text notes that the name turned up everywhere from bumper stickers to stock market chatter.
