Everybody talks about the weather but how many really understand it? This little book is a basic reference on storms, sky phenomena, global patterns of wind and pressure, weather forecasting techniques, interpreting cloud formations, and extreme weather safety. Each one of 144featured topics includes a photograph paired with an explanatory illustration or graphic. Interesting facts and tips offer a quick guide to observing the weather, from rainbows and auroras to supercells and hurricanes.
Easy to use, pocket guides are jam packed with information and quality illustrations. This will quickly become your family's favorite go-to resource for information. Today, it may seem simpler to "google" the information. Oftentimes, the online resource is overly simplified and easy to skim without really learning the information. Teaching our children to use print resources is valuable to not only retain information but also to give them tools to teach themselves. Each book provides detailed information for novice to advanced learners, and key facts summarized for each topic. Measuring 4 1/2" x 7 1/2", these books slip easily into your backpack or purse for an on-the-go reference. 178 pgs, pb ~ Deanne
