London: Allen Lane/Penquin Books, 1980. Louise Young presents an outstanding clear account of current knowledge about the atmosphere. She explains such newsworthy phenomena as metal-corroding acid rain, smog and damage to the ozone layer, as well as the ever important and fascinating pattern of the weather; but she also gives progress reports about the amazing promise (and threat) of weather control, about the recently discovered solar winds, about the huge increase this century in reported tornado activity. The mysterious changes in storm patterns, the dangerous build-up of carbon dioxide, the objects that pass through the atmosphere (from invisible cosmic rays to meteorites weighing several tons) all are superbly dealt with. A list pf plates and a list of diagrams provided. Ten specially commissioned drawings and thirty-six photographs are to be found here.

Englewood Cliff, N.J.: Prentice-Hall, 1972. 1972 Third Printing. Book Very Good in a Good Dust Jacket. The most publicized witch of the century is no stranger to the Zodiak.

She tells you about her predictions of the achievements and death of Ian Fleming years before he set Agent 007 to paper. An interesting read. Rust-brown cloth boards. Name to fep. Deep scratch to fore edge that caused leaf-edge damage to 10 leaves none of which affect the text in any way. Book remains clean and sound in a photo dust jacket.. Third Printing. Hard Cover.
