Robin Stirling offers a huge banquet to feed the British national obsession
in his expanded second edition of The Weather of Britain. Full to bursting with
tales of extremes—storms, heat waves and tornadoes—Stirling also
does a great job of breaking down the unpredictable mechanics of the climate
into its constituent nuts and bolts. Graphs, charts and dramatic photographs
more than make up for the book’s lack of style. Published by Giles de la Mare,
ÂŁ19.99, ISBN 1900357062.
