32 Minutes in May: The Joplin Tornado
All the source material for the book was compiled by the Joplin Globe newspaper, which did a marvelous job covering the ongoing story despite more than a dozen staffers losing their homes and one copy editor dying during the disaster. The book contains hundreds of color photographs, including Roger Nomer's now-famous image of a police officer carrying an 11-year-old girl from the rubble of a business. --Ron Warnick, Route 66 News
