Weather: Spectacular Images of the World's Extraordinary Climate Author: Storm Dunlop Publisher: Cassell Illustrated ISBN: 1844036014 Price: RM67.50
Synopsis In the tradition of "Above the World" and "Inside the Body", this unique contemporary reference book takes the reader inside the weather as we experience it, from the outer atmosphere to under an umbrella. "Weather" explores not only the nature of extreme conditions such as hurricanes and tornadoes, but also such things as the structure and properties of a gentle shower; the startling and beautiful Aurora Borealis and Australis, and the true nature of the rainbow. With satellite imagery and computer technology as well as stunning conventional photography, this book tracks each weather system from its origins to its effects.
What makes the wind blow? How do
clouds form and stay in the sky? The photographs track the weather from above
the clouds to a raindrop on a leaf, or the unique composition of a snowflake,
and from flood to drought. Introductory text to each chapter and detailed
captions explain both the content of the picture and how it was captured. As
with the preceding volumes it is sometimes difficult to distinguish between art
and nature when one turns the pages but the arresting images and straightforward
text excite and then satisfy our vital curiosity about our natural world. |
