4.0 out of 5 stars Best for novices, February 27, 2006
This review is from: Basic Essentials Weather Forecasting, 2nd (Basic Essentials Series) (Paperback)
This is a good book, but only if you are using it to gain BASIC knowledge about the weather. If you are looking for a book that deals with forecasting, look elswewhere.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's just a pocket guide, August 9, 2006
By 
This review is from: Basic Essentials Weather Forecasting, 2nd (Basic Essentials Series) (Paperback)
If all you want is a handy quick reference for weather-watching, then this (very thin) book is good. I had wanted to learn all about weather, and really needed more examples, pictures, explanations. So I'll find and read a real text book, but then I'll carry Hodgson's little book when I go hiking.
