Customer Reviews

Wonderful Reading for the Nature Enthusiast!

This book is a must read for anyone intrigued by natural phenomena relating to all sorts of things including "why birds don't fall off tree branches when they sleep". This book is much more than weather and sky. It is one that you will pick up and read again and again. I heartily recommend it. Get yours today! Makes a nice Christmas gift too!

A Facinating Book!

I found this book to be quite facinating, and very well written. It should be a must read for anyone interested in the subject of science and weather. This book covers all sorts of anomalies of weather and nature from 'frogs rains' to tornadoes, thunderstorms and sun spots! All sorts of interesting bits of information are compiled here, that make it a page-turning read from start to finish. There is great information about comets and stars and all sorts of oddities of the heavens as well. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The information is conveyed intelligently, but with an undercoat of wit and humor. You will really enjoy this one!

Natural phenomena and oddities of the skies. A must-read!

Frogs falling from the sky? Balls of light zipping around mastheads of ships? This surprisingly non-technical book explains the theories and facts behind strange phenomena of the sky. Illustrators, take not, as well. Glenn Wolff's illustrations bring this book to life and make it a wonderful addition to everyone's coffee table
