Meteorology: Understanding the Atmosphere (with Blue Skies CD-ROM, High School/Retail Version)

Ackerman/Knox's METEOROLOGY: UNDERSTANDING THE ATMOSPHERE presents the subject of weather as it directly affects the student, presenting the material with a moderate amount of detail, to make them knowledgeable citizens of the world. It builds strong connections between meteorology and everyday life, with an emphasis on real, working meteorology and state-of-the-art technology. The author's lucid writing style captures students' interest, and the integration of high-magnitude, real-world weather events to illustrate the impact of the weather, communicates the authors' enthusiasm and love of the subject. The text comes automatically packaged with an interactive CD-ROM (Blue Skies).
