In the tradition of " Above the World" & " Inside the Body", this unique contemporary reference book takes the reader inside the weather as we experience it, from the outer atmosphere to under an umbrella. " Weather" explores not only the nature of extreme conditions such as hurricanes & tornadoes, but also such things as the structure & properties of a gentle shower; the startling & beautiful Aurora Borealis & Australis, & the true nature of the rainbow.
