A generation ago, Anthony Smith wrote a book on weather called The
Seasons. It assumed that, good or bad, the world’s weather system would
remain generally in balance. In The Weather he has second thoughts.
Human activity is capable of distorting the weather and is probably doing so
already—for the worse. His case is argued with his customary lucidity and
individual style, informed with humour. A thoughtful, enjoyable though ominous
read. Published by Hutchinson, £17.99, ISBN 0091800900.
