18 miles : the epic drama of the atmosphere and its weather / Christopher Dewdney.

18 miles : the epic drama of the atmosphere and its weather / Christopher Dewdney.
18 miles :
Chris Dewdney reveals the invisible rivers in the sky that affect how our weather works and the structure of clouds and storms and seasons, the rollercoaster of climate. Dewdney details the history of weather forecasting and introduces us to the eccentric and determined pioneers of science and observation whose efforts gave us the understanding of weather we have today. "18 Miles" is a kaleidoscopic and fact-filled journey that uncovers our obsession with the atmosphere and weather -- as both evocative metaphor and physical reality.
