ABOUT THE EVENT
Phoenixville Public Library will host a free virtual talk by Scott Mazzella, co-author of Great Storms of the Jersey Shore, on Thursday, August 26 at 7:00 PM. Great Storms of the Jersey Shore is a dramatic history of the major coastal storms that have hit the Jersey Shore throughout recorded history. This presentation is adapted from the new 2019 edition of the book, which is illustrated with over 200 photographs, engravings, and maps. Superstorm Sandy in 2012 signaled a new era of storm history, and this large-format book, “one of the best documented compendiums ever published of what it meant to be there,” as The New York Times put it, has not just updates, but a major new section, written by Scott Mazzella, author of Surviving Sandy. This presentation is an opportunity to appreciate the horror and beauty of nature at its most powerful.
