Awe-inspiring photographs— taken from the vantage points of both earth and space—present our planet's weather in spectacularly dramatic fashion. Amazing satellite images show stunning cloud patterns, swirling pressure systems, blankets of pollutants, iceberg splits, dust storms, snowfall, floods, and other global meteorological events. Earthbound cameras capture gorgeous cloud formations (of every type, shot all over the world), remarkable optical phenomena (including crepuscular rays, halos, and illuminated clouds), and extreme weather (lightning, tornadoes, and sea storms). The fascinating text that accompanies each picture will turn you into a savvy armchair meteorologist in no time. This beautiful and captivating book is a must for avid weather watchers and dreamy sky gazers alike.
