Royal Meteorological Society, Weather
From a review of the second edition of Mountain Weather and Climate: 'Roger Barry's book has been very useful during the past eleven years … The improvements made in the second edition will make it more useful as a current reference and as a text for the special topic of mountains … I recommend this book to anyone interested in this topic.' Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society
' … a monumental review of the topic at hand … vast amount of original material reprocessed into a palatable and succinct form.' Bulletin of the World Meteorological Organization
'Barry's hallmark book represents a well-organized, well-crafted set of principles on how weather and climate processes operate in mountain environments. The impact of the book … is obvious - it … remains the major reference on the subject.' Arctic and Alpine Research
'The reproduction of photographs, drawings, and text is of excellent quality … The two earlier editions are held at hundreds of libraries worldwide, and this updated version will indubitably also find wide distribution.' EOS, Transactions, American Geophysical Union
'I can strongly recommend the book as a comprehensive, updated text on mountain meteorology and climatology for everybody interested in this area of study. Those who already own a previous edition will find new material and an updated list of references that would justify the expense.'

Even though ive got a 1000 words, with which to write my review, i need only a few. This text is wonderful, and is a sensual and aromatic read. Quite simply, marvellous. An essential item on any book shelf. A great read.
