Summary: USA-Centric Presentation, Weather Nowhere Else ?
Comment: I take introductory course Texas University Austin and this book used. Its good presentation in chapter the first about Global Warming caused by greenhouse gasses emmitted in US by engines of cars, and destruction of atmosphere by capitalists and greed. But, however, allmost all maps in this book of USA, as if only nation in world ever to experience any sort of weather is USA. My own home nation has weather too but is not mentioned, only maps of USA. Turducken weather hot and dry, mostly consistent, but showing weather maps of other countries beside USA would be less unilateral, since weather happens all over the world and not just in the USA. The part about Hurricanes Typhoons and Cyclones is good, I never knew before the difference between those. THe movie film Twister with Helen Hunt is good supplement materials for the chapiter about tornados, and supplemental CDROM it is useful too for supplemental materials.

Summary: Well-written, clear, and a very descriptive analysis
Comment: I am a college student at the Univeristy of Colorado at Boulder. I was required to read Ahrens book and I found it very helpful and informative. At times it was a little dull and simple, but it covered the atmosphere and weather related topics extremely well. I recommend this text to anyone interested in weather. The pictures and graphs were great too!
