Stuffed with photographs, diagrams, prints and cartoons, with stunning
typography, René Chaboud’s How Weather Works (Thames and Hudson,
£6.95, ISBN 0 500 30061 5) is a joy to the eye. It’s also chock-full of
information about the elements, the forces that produce good, bad and raging
weather, methods of forecasting weather, from pine cones to satellites, and even
the prospect of weather control. Straightforward, unfussy style, a credit to the
translator.
