Text is average but sometimes completly useless. Brought it just for visual reference in hardcopy, won't be good for anything else. ( ) Out of all the weather/meteorology books I own that aren't college textbooks, this is the best I've seen out there. The images are simply beautiful and the information given within the book is easy enough for my 6 year old nephew to understand when I read it to him. I was able to get my copy for free via BookMooch, but it's certainly worth the $30 to get it if you have the money. no reviews | add a review
Weather is one of Earth's last wild things. Although we can predict it, we cannot control it. It profoundly affects our culture, our economy, our well-being and our daily lives. This book provides a comprehensive visual guide to weather in all its manifestations. Clearly written and richly illustrated, it explains how the weather engine works, including hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, fires and droughts. Weather also explains the effect of climate on plants, animals and humans, and examines the latest research on changing climate, with particular reference to vital issues like global warming and ozone depletion.
