Extreme Weather, Extremely Interesting! C. Novy I just finished reading a new book by H. Michael Mogil titled "Extreme Weather". Unlike many weather books which focus on a dynamic approach (highs, lows, jet streams) to explain weather this book looks at extreme weather by event type and discusses the processes and history behind them. By "extreme" I'm talking about tornadoes, ice storms, flooding, lightning, droughts and so on. The book includes stunning photographs and clear illustrations. Some of the events mentioned are as recent as this year --which for me made the book even more relevant and fun to read.What I really found interesting about the book is the way Mogil looks at w. Awesome illustrations and informative text Daphne Jones This is perfect for older kids (nine and up) who are fascinated by tornadoes, hurricanes, monsoons, drought, blizzards, and other extreme forms of weather. The illustrations are simply awesome. They really demonstrate the power of nature. The text tends to be informative but dry. I recommend it for older kids because the text here does not shy away from discussing the human toll of death and destruction that these severe weather patterns can bring about.. Christine L. Antolik said Birthday Gift. Bought this book as a gift. It was a great book to give to my nephew who is really into this type of weather. He loves it.
