the first book of weather by Rose Wyler

From the book:

What makes the wind?
Where does the rain come from?
Why are snow, sleet, rain, and hail all different?
Why are there hot and cold waves?
What makes thunder and lightning?
What is a tornado?

"In lively and lucid manner a science writer and former science teacher answers these and many other questions, and explains what makes the weather. Simple experiments and directions for making weather instruments and reading weather maps are included, with charts to help in home forecasting.

Attractive two-color drawings and diagrams contribute to make this an outstandingly clear explanation of a complex subject."… (more)

The Golden Book of Astronomy by Rose and Ames Wyler, Gerald

A classic book from my childhood. Certainly outdated scientifically, but this awakened a love for the solar system and beyond that has never died. And that's what a book like this SHOULD do.
