Pilot's Weather

Book excerpt: A remarkable and beautiful new book that enters uncharted territory in explaining the vitally important pilot skill of understanding atmospheric perturbations. Rather than teaching with dreary old black and white drawings of isobars and fronts, endless graphs, and reams of figures, Pilot's Weather provides full-color photos and clear explanations of what fliers actually see and experience, excelling in making weather comprehensible to the non-meteorologist. This book is for readers who are interested in flying aircraft, ultralights, gliders, or kites -- or whose interest is the weather itself.
