A World of Weather: Fundamentals of Meteorology A Text/Laboratory Manual Third Edition Lee M. Grenci Jon M. Nese A text and lab manual all in one!

A World of Weather by Lee M. Grenci and Dr. Jon M. Nese is not a typical meteorology text. This book not only teaches your students the basic concepts about meteorology, but it applies these concepts in hands-on laboratory exercises, thus promoting a deeper understanding of how the atmosphere works.

The first half of the book is devoted to the nuts and bolts of meteorology, including temperature, air pressure, and atmospheric stability. These concepts are presented with a fresh approach designed so that students can easily relate basic atmsopheric principles to their daily lives. The remainder of the book is set aside for fastening the nuts and bolts to the framework of atmospheric phenomena, including mid-latitude cyclones, hurricanes, tornadoes, and global warming.

While particularly useful for an introductory meteorology course, this book also presents students with the tools needed for the further pursuit of meteorology as a major.
