Glantz, M.H. (2004). Our Affair With El Niño: How We Transformed an Enchanting Peruvian Current into a Global Climate Hazard. Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union 85: doi: 10.1029/2004EO410009. issn: 0096-3941.

This book by an oceanographer who has researched the El Ni¿o phenomenon for quite some time is a compilation of 19 essays, and is divided into five partsc (1) Who is El Ni¿o? (2) Our Dilemma. (3) Common Ground. (4) A Brief History of the Science. (5) Coping with Hazards. It also includes explanatory notes, references, and an index. Philander's book is much stronger on the science side than on the societal side of research or interest in El Ni¿o. The definitive, objective history of interest in El Ni¿o is yet to be written.
