Understanding weather processes and terminology is not only a requirement in most schools, it's a skill that can save lives and make travel, work or any outdoor activity a lot more pleasant.
Now your students can gain the tools they need to observe, understand and live with weather with The Complete Weather Resource. This 3-vol. source combines the benefits of an encyclopedia, a textbook and an almanac to help students understand all aspects of weather: Vol. 1 — Understanding Weather, Vol. 2 — Weather Phenomena, and Vol. 3— Forecasting and Climate.
Also included are sidebars, a cumulative index, 200 photos and illustrations, "Words to Know" section and a further reading section.

Reviews
Gr 7 Up-A mixed bag of fascinating tidbits, simple experiments, information about weather-related historical events, advice on how to protect yourself if threatened by severe conditions, biographical information, and lots more. The first volume provides a general introduction to weather and looks at how clouds form, cloud types and their identification, why there is fog, where wind comes from, and local winds and the regions they effect. Volume 2 covers tornadoes, hurricanes, thunderstorms, floods and droughts, and precipitation. Hurricane names up to the year 2000 are listed, along with an explanation of how they come about. A chapter on optical illusions includes several nifty experiments such as how to make a rainbow. Volume 3 covers forecasting, climate differences, and how humans may or may not influence the weather. Also included are directions for making several simple weather instruments and instructions for using them, the names of companies that sell weather instruments, and a list of several related Internet sites. Each book opens with the same thorough glossary. Many of the chapters list suggestions for further reading. There are some minor but distracting editorial errors. Black-and-white photos appear throughout but are often too dark to see clearly; this is particularly disappointing when they are used to illustrate the different types of clouds. The same list of sources (books, articles, CD-ROMs, and Web sites) and index are repeated in each volume. Similar in scope to The Weather Almanac (Gale, 1997), this resource will appeal to weather enthusiasts.-Jo-Anne Weinberg, Greenburgh Public Library, NY
