What Makes the Grand Canyon Grand? The World's Most Awe-Inspiring Natural Wonders

Spencer, Christian

San Val

Did you know that: on the average day, nearly 2/3 of the earth is covered by clouds?; It would never rain if the air were perfectly clean?; Weather vanes have roosters because of a decree by a 9th-century pope? In this lighthearted, easy-to-understand book, Spencer Christian, weatherman on ABC's Good Morning America, gives everyone's favorite topic a new spin. He explains the inexact science of weather-forecasting, as well as everything about the weather, including: folklore & myths; how weather systems are formed; causes of hurricanes & other storms; how weather influences health; how climate has changed over the ages -- & how it may be changing right now; & much more. Illustrations & maps complete this fun, fact-filled ref. guide.

Can It Really Rain Frogs: The World's Strangest Weather Events (Spencer Christian's World of Wonders)

<p>Nature as a work of art: birds in their habitat, spectacularly presented in their natural surroundings The award-winning Winged Prism photo series in a coffee table book for the first time For bird lovers and all those looking for an illustrated book that ventures beyond photojournalism and stylized studio shots<br />
The fascination birds evoke in us continues unabated. Australian artist and photographer Christian Spencer, living in the vicinity of the Brazilian rainforest since 2001, has surrendered to it as well. “The camera is my brush,” is how he describes his style. His photographs truly capture the poetry of nature, letting its beauty speak for itself ― which is why he forgoes any image editing. He was the first to capture the breathtakingly fast beating of hummingbirds' wings in the sunlight, which forms a rainbow in the air. The world of birds unfolds before his lens in all its colorful glory and elegance: in reflections on the water, between blossoms and trees, and high above the treetops.</p>
