"The Law of Storms" by John Ross is a detailed guide for sailors in the 19th century who needed to understand and avoid dangerous storms at sea. It explains how hurricanes and cyclones form, focusing on the changing winds and atmospheric conditions. Ross teaches readers how to spot early warning signs of a storm using their senses, what they see, and what they hear. He also talks about how special tools like barometers can help sailors predict what a storm will do. With charts and clear rules, the book shows mariners the best ways to steer their ships safely during these powerful storms, helping them understand wind patterns and stay away from the most violent parts of a cyclone.
