4.0 out of 5 stars understanding weather, 13 Aug 2002
I found this book very informative an easy to understand. Derek piggot is a good author and explains his theorys well so that you can understand concepts much easier. Other books i have tried were to hard to intake all the information but i found that this book was well structured which made easy reading. Derek being a top glider pilot understands the need for simplicity in his books so people of all standards from begginners to diamonds can absorb all the information he is trying to get across.
