520 1 $a"This book is a unique guide to the air we breathe in California. More than a natural history guide, it approaches this topic by recognizing the overwhelming role played by humans in the story of California's air. In a highly engaging style, David Carle explains daily weather patterns, seasonal climate, characteristic winds, and sky phenomena. He considers air as the gases in our atmosphere but also explores the aspects of air that influence all of our senses - its taste, smell, feel, and look. The book addresses issues arising from global climate change in California and functions as a handbook for more environmentally conscious living, with information on alternative energy sources and tips for cleaner running cars."--BOOK JACKET.
