This was recommended reading for a certificate course that I was taking through the University of Pennsylvania. This book covers the fundamentals of Weather in plain English and even with some humor thrown in. Easy to follow it makes a great resource for anyone learning weather or folks trying to increase their breadth of knowledge.

Boring chapters. Labs are to long and very repetitive, but it makes for an easy class.

I am having fun with my Oregon Scientific weather station, but I wanted to be more informed about the data my weather station provides and be able to apply what I see on my weather station to what I see out my window. This book has helped a lot. I find the lessons I learn in the text are very practical. And, several times while reading and learning, I express out loud, "This is awesome." (Usually, no one is around when I burst out in this glee :)). I find one major disconnect though. I am a middle aged person who just enjoys learning new things, keeping my mind active and find weather watching a valuable diversion from my regular occupation. I bought the book to learn. I am interested in the story problems to solidify and confirm my understanding of the material. But, there is no answer key in the book to the problems. I checked some of the web based locations in an attempt to find an answer key, but to no avail. I will keep looking. There is an obvious attempt to make the text light and interesting using dry humor geared to people under about 25 years old. It is easily glossed over by the older, objective thinking reader however, and the science is substantive. I would recommend the book, but I sure want to find the answer key.
