From the book Jacket:
A Chronology of Weather
Buy Michael Allaby
A Chronology of Weather presents an overview of the dangerous weather
described in preceding volumes in the series. It includes a time line of
catastrophic weather events from c. 3,200 B.C. to 1997, as well as a
chronology of meteorological discovery-comprising the lives and inventions
of great weather scientists-from c. 340 B.c. to 1995. A Chronology of
Weather also contains weather experiments that students can perform at home
using ordinary household supplies, a glossary of meteorological terms,
charts for wind measurement and cloud classification, and further readings
suggested by the author.
The Dangerous Weather series imparts fundamental weather science to readers
through author Michael Allaby's vivid descriptions of extreme weather
systems. The series focuses on the five most dangerous kinds of weather
activity; diagrams related meteorological, climatological, and environmental
basics in clear, compelling language; chronicles the history of each form of
dangerous weather; and offers safety precautions for extreme weather
conditions. Fully illustrated and indexed, the Dangerous Weather series is
an invaluable tool for student research. Other volumes include:
hurricanes
tornadoes
droughts
blizzards
floods
Michael Allaby is the author of more than 40 books, mainly on science,
natural history, and environmental topics. A few of his previous works
include Basics of Environmental Science, How It Works: The Environment,
and The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Ecology. He is a member of the New
York Academy of Sciences, among other professional affiliations.
