Recensioner

a review of the history of meteorology, interspersed with a travelogue by an amateur sailor/professor.I don't have enough of a background to have appreciated more of the science ( and math) but would have liked to hear more about the lives of the different meteorology figures presented.

A pretty interesting book about how ecosystems and humans have adapted to cold weather around the world, revolving around the author's experiences in Alaska (and other places). Lots if nifty information, but it was not as compelling a read as it could have been, and took a while for me to finish the relatively short book.

Or maybe that was because I had to stop reading to find a sweater or blanket.

Packed with factoids if a bit academic.
