3.		Global Warming: The Complete Briefing from Cambridge University Press Price: $34.92 Customer Review: As readers of my reviews know, I am skeptical about the theory that civilization is in danger because CO2 emissions are causing catastrophic levels of global warming.

7.		An Introduction to Dynamic Meteorology, Volume 48, Third Edition (International Geophysics) from Academic Press Price: $47.47 Customer Review: I was trained in a classical program in atmospheric sciences in the sense that the atmosphere is a fluid hence the field being a sub-discipline of fluid mechanics is much emphasized. Holton's book is The Undergraduate Textbook for programs rooted in this understanding, in the US or internationally.... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		CO2 Rising: The World's Greatest Environmental Challenge from The MIT Press Price: $14.51 Customer Review: "CO2 Rising" is on the ROROTOKO list of cutting-edge intellectual nonfiction.

12.		Atmospheric Science, Volume 92, Second Edition: An Introductory Survey (International Geophysics) from Academic Press Price: $42.86 Customer Review: This book is definitely for a student of the atmosphere. I bought it for some personal research I'm doing but I'm not a science person so it's over my head. This is very technical writing but very complete and well written. The book needlessly slips into evolution-speak occasionally but that's... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


13.		An Introduction to Space Weather from Cambridge University Press Price: $44.00	Click here for more information


14.		When Smoke Ran Like Water: Tales of Environmental Deception and the Battle Against Pollution from Basic Books Price: $10.79 Customer Review: I have read both books by Dr. Davis. She is fascinating, informative, and very informative. I had the chance to hear her speak once, and it changed my views on so many things.

15.		Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics: From Air Pollution to Climate Change from Wiley-Interscience Price: $62.97 Customer Review: I purchased this textbook for a class on Atmospheric Processes. It goes into far more depth than I ever imagined, and you probably wouldn't see half of this material until quite a ways into your graduate degree in atmospheric science. That being said, it is absolutely comprehensive - there probably... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


16.		Atmospheric and Oceanic Fluid Dynamics: Fundamentals and Large-scale Circulation from Cambridge University Press Price: $62.42 Customer Review: This book is easy to follow if you have a base knowledge of fluid dynamics, the material seems to be well organized for a beginner.

23.		Applied Geophysics from Cambridge University Press Price: $71.56 Customer Review: The content of this book is beyond reproach - good, detailed solid technical info. That's why I bought it. It's a bit beyond me as a geologist but I won't outgrow its content and that suits me fine. I was disappointed by the publication quality though. I knew it was a paperback, but it seems a... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


26.		Physics of Climate from Springer Price: $73.67 Customer Review: This is probably the most useful book in my library. This is not a book of people's theories about the climate, but an organized presentation of actual observations of the climate itself. The book is easy to read and well written. It is written more like a journal article than a textbook with tons... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


27.		Atmosphere, Weather and Climate from Routledge Price: $163.47 Customer Review: This book left a mixed impression. Yes, the meteorological content might be up to date. Sometimes the content is very short, sometimes the style is very boring and old-fashioned. No, this book is not well illustrated. Most of the graphics look awful. Handmade illustrations are not longer good enough... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


28.		Tornado Alley: Monster Storms of the Great Plains from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $5.23 Customer Review: Meteorology is, when closely inspected, a truly odd science. Although it has its share of stuffy scientists, it is also performed on the evening news by people with (sometimes) dubious credentials. This distinguishes it from, say, particle physics which would not draw most people's daily attention... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


29.		An Introduction to Atmospheric Radiation, Volume 84, Second Edition (International Geophysics) from Academic Press Price: $80.42 Customer Review: Good book for both undergrads and grads. also helpful as a reference book for researchers.
