Weather
How It Works and Why It Matters
by Arthur R. Upgren
"Experts in meteorology and astronomy, Upgren and Stock take us on a grand tour of Earth's weather. Amid colorful anecdotes of the Galapagos, Siberia, and places closer to home, they describe the factors involved in shaping our weather, from humidity and prevailing winds to air pressure systems and the causes of seasonal change.
They also explore the history of Earth's climate, its pivotal role in the development of life and human evolution, and how enormous cyclical changes in climate, such as El Nino, can spark severe weather all around the world."--BOOK JACKET.
