Introducing Meteorology: A Guide to Weather (Introducing Earth and Environmental Science)

In many parts of the world the weather forms a daily topic of conversation.
In others it hardly changes from one week to the next.
However, human life is governed by the weather which affects much of our activity, from farming to fishing and from shopping to holiday-making.
Now revised and brought up-to-date, Introducing Meteorology provides a proven, popular and succinct overview of the science of the weather for students and for interested amateurs wanting a topical guide to this complex science.
The initial chapters describe the development of the science, weather observation, the atmosphere and the forces which govern the weather.
The author then discusses weather influences at global and local scales before describing the science of weather forecasting.
