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. With satellite imagery & computer technology as well as stunning conventional photography, this book tracks each weather system from its origins to its effects. What makes the wind blow? How do clouds form & stay in the sky? The photographs track the weather from above the clouds to a raindrop on a leaf, or the unique composition of a snowflake, & from flood to drought. Introductory text to each chapter & detailed captions explain both the content of the picture & how it was captured. As with the preceding volumes it is sometimes difficult to distinguish between art & nature when one turns the pages but the arresting images & straightforward text excite & then satisfy our vital curiosity about our natural world. ...
