by Randi Mehling

Published 30 July 2007
Looks at meteorology through the ages - from our earliest prediction devices to state-of-the-art, satellite-predicted forecasts. This title also covers the importance of water and air circulation cycles, and discusses the impact of the irrepressible forces of nature.

Traces the rise and fall of prehistoric species, includes discussion about the time-honored and often-challenged theories about the five biggest extinctions, and raises questions about whether we are heading toward another mass extinction.
