Overall a good introduction to climatology - several years ahead of its time
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Nigel Calder's text provides a pretty good summary of Earth's weather systems and where they come from. It also does a good job of debunking the global "ice age" hysteria that was present in the news media at the time - and in the process it gives one insights into why the climate might be warming right now (hint - it's part of a natural process and it doesn't involve CO2). A classic - wish I could still find my copy.
Basic grounding in the earth's weather system
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Nigel Calder is a very good writer for taking large technical knowledge and presenting it in an everyday language. Which helps to understand the topic that he's writing about. The Weather Machine takes you through the system that travels around the world and shows how ideas of how the weather worked have changed over the years. Very educational, but a bit dry in parts.
