This exciting text provides a mathematically rigorous yet
accessible textbook that is primarily aimed at atmospheric science
majors. Its accessibility is due to the texts emphasis on
conceptual understanding.
The first five chapters constitute a companion text to
introductory courses covering the dynamics of the mid-latitude
atmosphere. The final four chapters constitute a more advanced
course, and provide insights into the diagnostic power of the
quasi-geostrophic approximation of the equations outlined in the
previous chapters, the meso-scale dynamics of thefrontal zone, the
alternative PV perspective for cyclone interpretation, and the
dynamics of the life-cycle of mid-latitude cyclones.Written in a
clear and accessible styleFeatures real weather examples and global
case studiesEach chapter sets out clear learning objectives and
tests students' knowledge with concluding questions and answers
A Solutions Manual is also available for this textbook on the
Instructor Companion Site www.wileyeurope.com/college/martin.
..".a student-friendly yet rigorous textbook that accomplishes
what no other textbook has done before... I highly recommend this
textbook. For instructors, this is a great book if they don't have
their own class notes - one can teach straight from the book. And
for students, this is a great book if they don't take good class
notes - one can learn straight from the book. This is a rare
attribute of advanced textbooks."

A rich visual testament to the practical and cultural power of the
dugout canoe, balanced in its description of meaning and method.
Tla-o-qui-aht master canoe maker Joe Martin, in collaboration with
former museum curator Alan Hoover, describes the meaning and method
behind one of the most vivid and memorable symbols of the Northwest
Coast: the dugout canoe. Both artform and technological marvel, the
chaputs carries Indigenous cultural knowledge passed down through
generations, not only of the practical forestry and woodworking
that shape every canoe, but also of the role and responsibilities
of the canoe maker. The text includes both a step-by-step
explanation of the canoe-making process from tree selection onward
(carefully described and dynamically illustrated) and the personal
histories of a number of Joe's canoes, encompassing their planning,
creation, cultural significance, and role in the process of
reconciliation. The teachings Joe received from his father and the
expertise he has gained in a lifetime of canoe-making are recorded
here in his own words for generations to come.
From the horrors of the deep comes.... HOT GARBAGE. Volume 2. A
shocking and totally unnecessary follow-up to the first book that
sold dozens! (?) Prepare for shocks, spills, and bone-crunching
chills as you meet old characters, new characters, and things with
Cat-titude. It recently bumped off chlamydia as 'Worst things you
could gift somebody" on Forbes' worst 100 Christmas Gift list.* and
would make a great companion to the blue book you may have been
goaded into purchasing earlier in the year! Actually features fan
content, never before published content, and other stuff in an
enjoyable, handy-dandy, easy to roll up and swat away insects with
format! *this is a straight-up lie. don't sue or hold to
credibility.
