Look at the Sky and Tell the Weather

Delightful blend of serious meteorology and beautiful illustrations takes readers on a voyage of discovery as the versatile author traces a single air mass from the Canadian Rockies to northern New England. A vivid narrative and Sloane's own pen-and-ink sketches describe the progress of the air mass over America, its encounters with other weather systems, and its effect on Americans from varied backgrounds--including a bush pilot in Canada, a sign painter in the Midwest, and a New England sailor. 43 black-and-white illustrations.
