If I run across any more, I'll edit this post.
>EDIT< I did a search at Barnes and Nobles' website: B&N List - about 240 listed. Hopefully they're all non-fiction. I only checked the first 3 or so pages.

I have read some material about Dr. Isaac M. Cline and found it quite interesting, especially his journal about the Galveston storm. He also wrote an autobiography call "Storms, Floods and Sunshine". Also "Isaac's Storm is an account of the Galveston devastation, which at the time of this storm, Dr. Cline was the director of the Galveston Weather Office.
