Yeah. After reading the 16 Minutes From Home book I picked this one up (not at Amazon sorry). Man it told me more about weather than I thought possible - and I'm a natural science buff. It's easy to read and is along the line of a "xxx For Dummies" type of thing. I was hooked after I read his introduction in the front. He's obviously a big weather buff. A friend of mine in Raleigh said he give lectures at the NC Museum of Natural History (possibly NC M. of Science I no longer recall) and is funny to boot. I didn't read it front to back, but skipped around a bit. Starting with (wait for it) Hurricanes! If you need a quick reference book for weather, this thing is a good pick. I'm not sure what else is out there as I never bought a book only about weather before this one and tend to read articles online about it. But this book seems like a winner.
