Summary: "The weather is the last truly wild thing on Earth; we cannot predict it and we cannot control it - so how does it work?... From hurricanes to sandstorms and monssons to avalanches, via solar storms and the jet strem, [this book] takes a trip with the most exciting and dangerous forces of the weather. Drawing on the most up-to-the-minute scientific evidence, [this book] predicts what the consequences of global weather change will be for our unpredictable world." --BOOK JACKET.
