Summary Weather is one of Earth's last wild things. Although we can predict it, we cannot control it. It profoundly affects our culture, our economy, our well-being and our daily lives. This book provides a comprehensive visual guide to weather in all its manifestations. Clearly written and richly illustrated, it explains how the weather engine works, including hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, fires and droughts. Weather also explains the effect of climate on plants, animals and humans, and examines the latest research on changing climate, with particular reference to vital issues like global warming and ozone depletion.
