A charming, richly illustrated, pocket-size exploration of the world's weather
Packed with surprising facts, this delightful and gorgeously designed book will beguile anyone who is curious about weather. Expertly written and beautifully illustrated throughout with color photographs and original color artwork, The Little Book of Weather is an accessible and enjoyable mini-reference about the world's weather, with examples drawn from across the globe. It fits an astonishing amount of information in a small package, covering a wide range of topics--from weather forecasting and extreme events such as hurricanes and typhoons to the future of weather with climate change. It also includes curious facts, myths, and history--from whether animals can predict the weather to the bad weather that helped doom Napoleon and Hitler's invasions of Russia and the Soviet Union. The result is an irresistible guide to the amazing world of weather.Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
