About This Item
London: Allen Lane/Penquin Books, 1980. Louise Young presents an outstanding clear account of current knowledge about the atmosphere. She explains such newsworthy phenomena as metal-corroding acid rain, smog and damage to the ozone layer, as well as the ever important and fascinating pattern of the weather; but she also gives progress reports about the amazing promise (and threat) of weather control, about the recently discovered solar winds, about the huge increase this century in reported tornado activity. The mysterious changes in storm patterns, the dangerous build-up of carbon dioxide, the objects that pass through the atmosphere (from invisible cosmic rays to meteorites weighing several tons) all are superbly dealt with. A list pf plates and a list of diagrams provided. Ten specially commissioned drawings and thirty-six photographs are to be found here. The material, here-in, has been effectively selected so that the book is not only very readable but also informative... Here is writing science at its best! A square, clean bright book in its price-intact photo illustrated bright dust jacket.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine.
