Weather: Whipping Up a Storm!

Simon Basher's science titles - including The Periodic Table, Physics, Biology and Astronomy - have been a hit with readers of all ages. Now comes the book that puts his fresh spin on weather.Welcome to the wild world of weather, Basher style! Meet Hurricane, a violent blusterer; Atmosphere, a many-layered character who keeps the planet cozy; hard-nut Hail and sneezy Sleet; Drought, the dusty fellow who makes life hard for animals, plants and people; and mischievous El Nino, who messes around with ocean currents to chaotic effect. Includes plenty of detail on the forces that make weather work - this approach is so effective, readers will forever think about these characters every time they hear a weather report or step outside.
