Customer Reviews

Decent condition but previously marked up and highlighted.

Got the book marked as 'very good' condition. The book itself is in good shape but several pages are already highlighted and marked up to the point where it gets distracting while reading it and I can’t highlight my own notes. Kind of disappointed, not gonna lie.

Lab Manual - Understanding Weather & Climate (4th Edition)

I bought this manual to go with a text, and it does, right in order. The illustrations are great and add to the knowledge given in the text.

Clear enjoyable intro to Weather (not dumbed down)

I bought the 3rd Edition because it was so inexpensive. Having read the usual popular books on weather, I was interested in a little more science behind the facts. I can not describe the "Eureka" moments that came in every chapter. For 2 -3 bucks plus postage it really delivers. I see 10 times more in the sky than I ever did before. (Surface maps will never be enough again.)

Good text book, bit too pricey

I liked this book alot when I was in climatology. It isn't longwinded and is explained in plain english. It's Good as a source book, but goes into great detail (even too much) in some sections and not enough in other parts. Overall, it's a bit too expensive if you aren't using this for a course. Buy it used if you can.
