Okay...let me preface this review by saying I know I'm not a PhD level reader so forgive me if this review sounds like the ramblings of a primative, lazy reader.
I bought this book as research for one of my latest novels, and I regret it. I thought it was going to be about forecasting the weather but it's like reading a meteorology dictionary. It is literally nothing but chapter after chapter after chapter of definitions. And most of the definitions...I have to google anyway because they don't make sense! He didn't even bother to explian what METAR meant...he just assumes I already know all these meterology terms. But the whole reason I bought this book is because I'm a beginner.
I have started this book 3 times but I will not finish it. I can't get past chapter 3. I won't discourage anyone from reading it! Just expept that it will be nothing but definitions. Maybe someone who is smarter than me can make heads or tails of it but I will keep it as a reference book only. Lol.

This is a reference work, and as such looks really good. I will either reread it, or the new edition when it arrives, as it definitely requires slow, careful reading to assimilate the large amount of information in there.
