by Mark Monmonier
The author reveals how meteorologists learn to map, predict, and dramatize the weather, and takes a look at the history of meteorology and strategies for mapping the upper atmosphere forecasting disaster. Color photos and line drawings.
First line
Like the flashing red signals at railroad crossings, weather maps regularly announce the imminent arrival of an unstoppable threat with severe consequences for those who ignore the warning.
From the rear cover
In Air Apparent, Mark Monmonier traces debates among scientists eager to unravel the enigma of storms and global change, explains strategies for mapping the upper atmosphere and forecasting disaster, and discusses efforts to detect and control air pollution. Fascinating in its scope and detail, Air Apparent makes us take a second look at the weather map, an image that has been, and continues to be, central to our daily lives.
