But despite our frequent powerlessness in the face of it  there is much we do know. The Weather takes a thrilling voyage to the heart of this phenomenon  that even in an age of air conditioning and artificial environments  is still central to the everyday life of the planet. From hurricanes and sandstorms  monsoons to avalanches  solar storms to the jet stream  The Weather showcases the most dangerous and dynamic forces of the weather. Created by veteran BBC producer  editor and writer John Lynch  The Weather explains the science of weather clearly and accessibly  illustrated throughout with color photographs and graphics from The Learning Channel\/BBC television series. The Weather begins with the basic questions: What is the weather  and what drives it? The book then goes on to cover every global weather phenomenon  with an in-depth introduction and sections on Wind  Wet  Cold and Hot. The book is especially revealing on how humans interact with weather -- how weve adapted to it  suffered from it  harnessed it  and  finally  how we may be inadvertently changing it. The final section  Change  is a look at the meaning of global climate change patterns.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67923875528757,"sku":"ByrdShop_1552976394","price":65.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781552976395.jpg?v=1794117748","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-weather-9781552976395","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
