I got my textbook quicker than anticipated and was very happy with the quality of the book. Many times, purchasing used textbooks can be hit or miss (many are makred up, missing pages or full of peanut butter) This book was in near new condition and was delivered promptly.

5 Stars
December 15, 2007
This text is an excellent resource for an Introductory Meteorology course. Each chapter and topic built upon learning from the previous chapters and topics. This text not only covered detailed information about all meteorological topics, but also contained current event information from the past decade, news clippings, and common questions that may confuse students. The animations and extras included on the additional CD provided an added resource for further learning.
