Following is a list of published books and articles dealing with natural phenomena that I think may relate to family history studies. More are presented in my book, Surviving Mother Nature’s Tests. Over time I will add to the list, particularly titles that relate to my blog posts or published papers. Those marked with an * are particularly recommended for an introduction into the subject.
