Meteorology for Today 9th Edition September 20, 2008

The title is very apt. For anyone interested in descriptive concepts (no maths)of general meteorology and environment systems - how they work, this book covers just about every topic of interest to us today. Content is clearly laid out and easy to understand. The graphics are first class. This is a great book for basic understanding of the workings of our atmosphere. I congratulate the author. As a companion and for further indepth knowledge (with simle maths) I suggest Meteorology for Scientists and Engineers.

I liked this book as it was laid out well. The author does not use jargon and writing style is clear and easy to understand. With that said, it did not spoon feed the reader mush. I did not look at the online segments, but it was nice to see that they were there if I needed it.
I would recommend this book if you are interested in learning about our weather and global climate.

This book is a very good textbook. It is easy to read even for a beginner. It has a lot of nice, large pictures in it. It explains meterology well.
The BEST Book on the Subject for Beginners! June 1, 2010

This is the best book I've ever read on the subject. Too often, authors put the cart before the horse by touching on subjects the book hasn't covered yet, forcing the reader to page ahead and read about what's being talked about so he can go back and understand what should have been explained to him 100 pages earlier. This book has beautiful illustrations and photographs, and is the easiest, by being the CLEAREST, book to grasp by anyone who wants to learn about the weather. Everything is discussed in an orderly fashion, and the style of writing is engaging enough to make topics, which might otherwise be boring, extremely fascinating. There is constant LIFE running through these pages.
This book manages to walk the line between heavy science and simplicity, making the reader feel at ease by being able to understand complicated subjects without feeling like he is being treated like a child.
I cannot recommend this book strongly enough, and if it weren't for the fact that I had to stop so I could take in what I was learning, I would not have been able to put it down.
