Native American tales are set against scientific facts to explain how thunder, tornadoes, sunlight, rainbows, and other weather phenomena come into existence.
The urban legend of Mary Weather B aka The Green Lady has haunted the city of Cleveland, Ohio since the early 1980's. In this novel Mary Weather takes revenge on the children and grandchildren of the local hoods that viciously raped and killed her and her mother Helen Weather.

"Folklore from around the world relating to weather patterns, as well as sidebars explaining how the weather actually works scientifically."--
11-year-old Stella has returned home to Shetland to spend the summer with her Grandpa, but it's nothing like she remembers. Grandpa is lost in his grief for Gran, the island is bleak and Stella feels trapped, until she encounters an old woman, Tamar, who can spin rainbows and call hurricanes. With the help of Nimbus, a feisty young storm cloud, Stella begins to learn the craft of weather weaving. But when her cloud brain-fogs Grandpa and The Haken (a sea witch) starts to close in, she realises that magic comes with big responsibilities. It will take all her heart and courage to face the coming storm...
From wild tornadoes to blinding blizzards, learn what makes our climate and weather work in this stunning visual guide. Fiercer hurricanes, hungrier wildfires, flash floods, and desertification are becoming a part of daily life as our climate shifts and changes. Weather covers the most important areas of this timely topic, delivering up-to-date expert information on everything from the water cycle to winds, cloud galleries, fog, and snow, and from extreme weather like hurricanes, supercell tornadoes, firestorms, and dust storms to the people who predict them and try to save others.Beautifully laid out images of weather objects and processes using satellite imagery, time-lapse photography, and eyewitness reportage put readers in the eye of the storm for close-up learning. A must-read for curious young scientists interested in the weather systems that shape our world.
Scientists have delved deep into the smallest particles of matter and have extended their view to the far reaches of the universe, but still seem unable to predict the temperature five days hence. In this intriguing book, two scientists examine recent progress in the fields of meteorology and climatology. Amid colorful anecdotes of the Galapagos, Siberia, and places closer to home, they describe the earth's atmosphere, its origin and structure, and the forces that have shaped and continue to affect it. They explore temperature, pressure, and other properties of air and weather, including warm and cold fronts, highs and lows, clouds, trade winds, prevailing westerlies, and sky phenomena such as rainbows, halos, coronae, and sun dogs. The authors end with a discussion of the major threats to earth's atmosphere brought on by human activity, including global warming and ozone depletion, and argue that pure science -- not politics -- should dictate our policy responses.
Can you read weather maps? They are much more complex than the maps you consult when looking for directions. This book will give you the information that you need to use weather maps in identifying pressure systems and predicting forecasts. Later, you will begin to understand where the information and data in weather maps came from. Start reading today.
Here is a look at meteorology through the ages.
