About this title

Reviews

YA-- Everyone talks about the weather, but this excellent British import helps readers to understand this mystical force in their lives. An especially important aspect is how human behavior influences weather, e.g., greenhouse effect, tropical rainforest, population, etc. With its recent data; numerous color photographs; clear, practical diagrams; and detailed index, this is excellent supplementary material for students who have completed an introductory unit on the topic. All regions of the Earth are well represented, but more examples come from Europe than elsewhere. A fresh perspective and new insight for researchers seeking new illustrations to make a point. --Claudia Moore, W. T. Woodson High School, Fairfax, VA
