Weather. Theres no escaping it. Good, bad, glorious or indifferent, its always there, looking down on us. When two Englishmen meet its the first thing they discuss. When two Americans meet the first thing they discuss is how bad the English weather is. And when two Hawaiians meet they are usually too busy sunbathing to talk about the weather. In these days of climate change and concerns over the long-term effects of pollution, we can rapidly see how global weather systems are changing for the worse not only for human beings, but for every creature and micro-organism under the sun. We are all affected by weather.Campbell's Weather Compendiumis the perfect companion to learning about the weather, no matter where you live or whether it is raining or sunny outside, an enlightening and entertaining miscellany of our planets most complex, diverse and powerful system without which life simply would not exist.
