This book is fantastic, it is packed with all the information a student would want to know when studying weather. This book not only covers extreme disasters but the small events that lead up to these disasters such as hail, wind, cloud movement, and rain. These introductory concepts must be understood before anyone can really learn and understand the big stuff such as monsoons, tornadoes, hurricanes, and floods. The book provides in-depth, but concise information in a very organized format. He uses a combination of text, illustrations, pictures, and side notes. The glossary and index make searching for favorite topics easy.This book wouldn't be left out when teaching students about weather. It goes much more in depth than any textbook I have seen. The pictures are great teaching tools as well if you find yourself with a student that isn't the biggest fan of reading. It is a great book to pick and choose from if you only want to teacher a limited section. This will definitely be in my readers selection about weather.
