Instant Guide to Weather

Rating:
Summary: Very well illustrated!
Review: The Instant Guide to Weather is one of the best beginning guides for amateur meteorologists. It can also come in handy for advanced weather watchers. Since cumulonimbus clouds are some of the most fascinating clouds to watch, an illustration of this cloud is included on the cover of the jacket.
Now for the pinpoint details: The guide is quite concise and easy to use, especially for the beginning weather watcher. The pictures are beautiful, particularly the cumulus congestus and cumulonimbus ones. The authors should have drawn more pics of cumulus clouds. I feel must deduct one star for this detail, since the Audubon Guide has seven or more pictures of cumulus and cumulonimbus. However, this won't matter to one who has never seen the unabridged Audubon Field Guide. Don't bother wasting your money on this if you already own the full fledged Peterson, Audubon, or Simon and Schuster's guides to weather. It will make this Instant Guide look mediocre.
Otherwise, purchase this to get started on your exciting weather trip! It will prove useful.
