 A classic December 9, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
The number of decades this book has been in print speaks for itself - it is a classic in its field. Barry and Chorley manage to explain things clearly and simply, but without 'dumbing things down.' However, it does cover a lot of material, so if you're looking for in depth information on a particular topic or you already have a fairly good knowledge of meteorology you'd probably be better off looking in a more specialist textbook. As an intro to weather and climate though it can't be beaten - in fact it was coming across the first edition of this book that influenced me to study geography at uni.

Great. An 8th edition. It's a good book on Meteorology.My favourite passage, which has remarkably made it from the 7th edition, is made about the naming of the positive phase of ENSO, and I quote "...locally termed La Nina - the girl - on account of its richness in plankton and fish." Roll on the 9th Edition in which the authors will hopefully expand on this sentence!
Exceptional, well written and worth every penny! September 9, 2000

This book is incredible (as is its author). I really enjoyed reaidng it, and find Chorley's coverage of complex material enlightening, informative and most of all extremely interesting.Chorley's style is like a father talking to his child, accessible and seductive. The sound of his voice resonates through my head as I read his work. He is an extremely accomplished author, whom unlike many scientists is easy to understand. I can just say that this is the best book I have ever read, and I really admire the author's seductive style.
