Well laid out in a logical format, covers all the main points & shows not only that we have had climate change for 4.5 billion years before Al Gore, but how cyclical and stable the present climate actually is.
Lots of maps, graphs & photos
An 18 page index that makes navigation of the book easy; plus 21 pages of notes & further reading.
“If you want to know the future…..read history.”
Read Lamb’s book in conjunction with –
- ‘The Inconvenient Skeptic: the Comprehensive Guide to Earths Climate’ By John H Kehr.
- ‘Heaven & Earth the missing science’ by Ian Plimer.
For the amateur forecaster, as I am, this book confirms nearly all of the really old saws,sayings/rhymes. It does not deal with jet streams, El Nino, La Lina or volcanis ash.
A real treasure if you can find the original edition.
An excellent book that should be on the bookshelf of anyone faintly interested in weather and climate.
