Murchie

Jason Aronson Inc, 1979

Classic book on navigation and flying
Murchie was obviously a great influence on Richard Bach's early flying books. His narrative style of framing topics about navigation within a flight across the Atlantic must have been the inspiration for Bach's "Stranger to the Ground," another great book about flying. Murchie takes you on journies through the evolution of early ocean navigation, celestial navigation, and flight. ...

Gasp! The Swift and Terrible Beauty of Air

5 reviews
Joe Sherman

Shoemaker & Hoard, 2004

How We Got To Understand Air, And To Ruin It
Among the big problems with air is that it is invisible (with luck) and that we don't have to pay for it. We get to regard with specific attention the food we buy, and if you don't like the tap water you pay for, you can always spring for bottled. Air, on the other hand, is taken for granted, and you usually don't even think of even one of the 19,000 breaths you take every day. Like any other ...

Song of Angels: Experiencing the Atmosphere of Heaven

Freddy Hayler

Whitaker House, 2001

Music of beauty and songs of intimacy
Good music is without a doubt in the ear of the listener, and even good music will sooner or later be placed in the portion of the queue that gets almost no attention. Even praise and worship music are not free of that fate. This CD by Freddy Hayler, along with the others in the Angels series, has defied that fate for me. Mind you, I am one who delights in well-crafted electric guitar riffs and ...

Thin Ice: Unlocking the Secrets of Climate in the World's Highest Mountains

Mark Bowen

Holt Paperbacks, 2006

Wonderful book - in several dimensions
This is travelogue, musings, science, story-telling, and a gentle (non-polemic) argument about a critical present-day issue. The previous reviewers (especially the first two) and Bill McKibben's dust-jacket comment are good guides. Some of the author's descriptions of mountain scenery are quite beautiful. Although I always have been concerned about climate change based on the "precautionary ...

Robert Wade's Watercolor Workshop Handbook

8 reviews
Robert Wade

North Light Books, 2002

My favorite watercolor book
I have a library of over 60 watercolor books, and this is by far my favorite. I also own all of Wades's tapes, and his new CD. I find them to be an extension of the book. I took a workshop from a famous watercolor teacher who had us doing wash on top of wash. She must have gotten the idea from Wade as he has a section on just that topic. He covers washes on top of finished paintings that ...

Atmospheric Science, First Edition: An Introductory Survey

6 reviews
John M. Wallace, Peter V. Hobbs

Academic Press, 1977

Excellent (albeit dated) treatment of atmos. science
(Update--there is a new edition of this textbook, out in spring 2006) It's too bad Wallace and Hobbs never got around to revising this edition of the text, written in 1977. Of all the undergraduate textbooks I had, this was by far the best. W&H cover all the important topics in meteorology and atmospheric science. Each chapter is very well written, easy to understand, and has good ...

Trevor Chamberlain: Light and Atmosphere in Watercolour : A Personal View (Atelier Series.)

4 reviews
Trevor Chamberlain, Angela Gair

David & Charles, 1999

An enormously attractive plein-aire painter.
Trevor Chamberlain is one of the most authentic outdoor painters working today. He is a "painter's painter," and anyone who has ever picked up a brush wishes in his or her heart of hearts that Chamberlain's style could be his or her own. His books make this dream almost seem a reality.

Ocean Circulation, Second Edition

3 reviews
Open University

Butterworth-Heinemann, 2001

An excellent and comprehensive introduction
This book provides a very accessible introduction to a topic that is often confusing to newcomers. It introduces the concepts and equations of oceanography in a step-by-step manner, with self-quizzes and problems to assist the reader in grasping the concepts. The book is good for people exploring an education in oceanography, or for people who are not oceanographers but need to understand ...

The Ceaseless Wind: An Introduction to the Theory of Atmospheric Motion

John A. Dutton

Dover Pubns, 1986

A fundamental books for Atmospheric Physics
The atmospheric science is a young science and it is difficult to find rigorous, not only phenomenological, and precise books on it. I find this book a very precise, with a good mathematical description of phenomena, and self consistent books, very useful for physics of the atmosphere. Probably, in my opinion, some initial notion of general fluid mechanics is needed but this book is fundamental ...

This is a great book for all ages.
This book, through the use of amazing water color illustrations by the author, leads us through the adventures of the sky. The sky includes the wind and the air around us as well as what we ordinarily think of as the sky. Overall the book carries a message of respect and reverance for the sky as well as all of the earth.

Aerosol Technology: Properties, Behavior, and Measurement of Airborne Particles (Wiley-Interscience)

William C. Hinds

Wiley-Interscience, 1999

The essential work to understanding aerosols
As the New Testament is to Christians and the Torah is to Jews, this work is the essential literature to understanding aerosols and aerosol technology. You enter as a novice with human explanations of terms, proceed through most of the mundate and requisite statistics, and then are allowed to explode through the fascination that is aerosols. Through comprehensive, yet comprehensable ...

The Observation and Analysis of Stellar Photospheres (Cambridge Astrophysics)

3 reviews
David F. Gray

Cambridge University Press, 1992

Essential, fundamental and superb, yet not for beginners
This is a classical textbook on several issues of the analysis of stellar spectra. It is thorough, objective, very clear and superbly written, with illuminating physical insights and conceptual discussions. The reader will also benefit from the accurate mathematical treating. But it is not an undergraduate text: many topics are discussed in such a way that leaves the uninitiated feeling that the ...

As far as I concern it is the first book was written on its subject on the world. Thefore I congratulate to Proffessor A. Keith Thompson who gave this valuable knowladges to the people who work or study on controlled atmosphere storage of fruits and vegetables. I didn't see it. Honestly I would have seen it.

From Raindrops to Volcanoes: Adventures with Sea Surface Meteorology (Dover Science Books)

2 reviews
Duncan C. Blanchard

Dover Publications, 2004

Still A Worthy Read
I first read "From Raindrops to Volcanoes" when I was a meteorology student in the late 1960s and interested in cloud physics. It was one of the best of a great series of lay science books published in by Doubleday/Anchor at the time. I reread the book again after many years about two years ago and find it is still one of the best of its genre. Blanchard presents his topic well. I love his book ...
