vii, 109 pp. Here is a picture book where you may see weather happening. Eric Sloane has drawn hurricanes and cyclones and all the mechanisms of storms, so that the layman, even a child, will recognize and learn. Although this is a book without a single sunny page in it--nothing but bad weather every time a page is turned--one who would lose a fear of storms needs only to know this book and to understand how storms really work. Eric Sloane has done paintings and drawings of every aspect of weather. His models have been the basis of U.S. Navy weather training. Now, specializing on storms, he deals with such subjects as storm mechanism, cyclonic storms, tornadoes, waterspouts, whirlwinds, dust storms, hurricanes, thunder, the mechanism of a lightning bolt, and other fascinating factors.--jacket
