 Global Warming Seems to Date This Book December 13, 2008
0 out of 18 found this review helpful
I like this book a lot for its overview of why the weather of the Pacific Northwest has traditionally done what it has done, but with the continuing changes brought on by global warming, its not clear how much of this is going to remain true going forward. I would have liked a lot more dicussion about how global warming is changing things.

As a Northwest transplant, I've always wondered why the storms out here are so very different from those in the midwest. Mass explains all of this in an accessible, easy to understand way. The illustrations are gorgeous, and the full-color graphics help the reader under the mechanics and movement of weather. I love the discussion of the historical floods (including the whopper in December 2006 that felt of hurricane intensity) and the chapter on how to "forecast" the weather on your own. This is a truly great weather and climate book -- straightforward yet complex, sober in its science yet exciting in its practical immediacy. I've already bought an extra copy for a friend for Christmas who is a committed weather buff.
