This text is an excellent resource for an Introductory Meteorology course. Each chapter and topic built upon learning from the previous chapters and topics. This text not only covered detailed information about all meteorological topics, but also contained current event information from the past decade, news clippings, and common questions that may confuse students. The animations and extras included on the additional CD provided an added resource for further learning.

When I told my classmates what I paid for this text, many of them groaned. They had paid 3 to 4 times as much for the book at the college bookstore.

I bought this book for the purpose of school. My professor is still using this book, even though it is old. Great price on here compared to the bookstore.

This is a good introduction to general weather behavior as well as extreme weather phenomena. You will need some basic knowledge of either physics or chemistry, especially the gas laws. This is not a book for those only interested in personal forcasting, but it can help you understand the major factors in forcasting.

Good introductory textbook. I used it for my 300-level class, but thought it a bit below the level we should have been working at. Well-written and lots of interesting stuff inside though :)

This is an excellent book. It teaches you the real basics and makes a great book for an Intro to Meteorology Class.

I got my textbook quicker than anticipated and was very happy with the quality of the book. Many times, purchasing used textbooks can be hit or miss (many are makred up, missing pages or full of peanut butter) This book was in near new condition and was delivered promptly.

The students in my class and I thought that this textbook was too newsy. it had WAY too much information for an Intro to Meteorology class. The questions at the end of the chapters were hard also because they were almost impossible to solve. The test bank that my teacher used was so hard. The wording was so touchy that the answers could have gone either way for some questions. My teacher even took a test and agreed that the questions were not clear and that multiple answers could be correct. I would recommend this book to a higher level class, but not an intro class if you want tons of information and a challenge on solving problems.

The book has an extraordinary content to learn about the atmosphere. I advise buy it, the CD is very good.
