The air above your head is a highway, a filter, and a reservoir all at once. Charles Talman surveys the whole science of weather: the atmosphere's resources, its dust and smoke, cloudland and precipitation, and the instruments that read it. A comprehensive, readable tour of the sky from a Weather Bureau expert. Look up with new understanding of everything that moves overhead.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
