And soon I heard a roaring wind : a natural history… di Bill Streever

a review of the history of meteorology, interspersed with a travelogue by an amateur sailor/professor.I don't have enough of a background to have appreciated more of the science ( and math) but would have liked to hear more about the lives of the different meteorology figures presented.

Cold: Adventures in the World's Frozen Places di Bill Streever

A pretty interesting book about how ecosystems and humans have adapted to cold weather around the world, revolving around the author's experiences in Alaska (and other places). Lots if nifty information, but it was not as compelling a read as it could have been, and took a while for me to finish the relatively short book.

Or maybe that was because I had to stop reading to find a sweater or blanket.

Cold: Adventures in the World's Frozen Places di Bill Streever

Packed with factoids if a bit academic.
