Like its sibling, Amazing Body Facts and Trivia, this book was great fun to research and write, and I’m really proud of the result. I really like the design, by Hugh Schermuly.
From the publisher: “Each book in the Amazing Facts and Trivia series is beautifully illustrated and contains hundreds of colourful pieces of artwork, photographs, and diagrams. These quirky books are designed to be opened to any page so that readers can discover intriguing stories, facts, tips, and trivia.
This captivating book contains a treasury of fascinating facts on the science, art, history, folklore, and mythology of the weather – a fundamental process that shapes the earth’s environment. It’s beautifully illustrated throughout with images of weather phenomena from the ground, the air, and from space, as well as clear diagrams that explain how various elements of the weather work. Includes lists, tables, and anecdotes of weather records, extreme events, and surprising facts.”
