Basher Basics: Weather by Simon Basher

Basher Basics: Weather, Whipping up a storm created and illustrated by Simon Basher, written by Dan Green:
Welcome to the wild world of weather, Basher style Meet Hurricane, a violent blusterer; Atmosphere, a many-layered character who keeps the planet cozy; hard-nut Hail and sneezy Sleet; Drought, the dusty fellow who makes life hard for animals, plants and people; and mischievous El Ni o, who messes around with ocean currents to chaotic effect. Includes plenty of detail on the forces that make weather work--this approach is so effective, readers will forever think about these characters every time they hear a weather report or step outside.

Dan Green attended Cambridge University and majored in Natural Sciences. He's worked on a number of popular science titles, as well as writing humor books, editing a national newspaper in South America, and working as a travel writer, as well as creating and editing the immensely popular Horrible Science magazine series.
