- Synopsis
- From the Book Jacket: 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 Other books in this series are also available from Bookshare.
