A 1962 Book About Nature's Fury — Still Worth Reading in Context

Ann and Myron Sutton wrote this as a serious look at what happens when nature operates at its most extreme — floods, droughts, fires, storms — tracing each through legend, science, and literature, and ending with practical notes on survival. Published in 1962, before "climate change" was a mainstream phrase, it's a genuinely interesting document of how mid-century writers understood nature's power.

Reading it now, against current events, gives it another layer. This is a first edition in a dust jacket with slight wear — a solid copy for what it is.

Collector's Notes

Ann and Myron Sutton were a husband-and-wife writing team who produced natural history and conservation titles throughout the 1960s, including work for the National Geographic Society.

Nature on the Rampage was one of their earlier books — a first edition from 1962 has genuine interest for collectors of environmental history and mid-century science writing, particularly given how the book's topics resonate with present-day discussions about weather extremes.
