Book Reviews of An Introduction to Dynamic Meteorology, Volume 88, Fourth Edition (International Geophysics)
Book Review: Extraordinarily good text
Summary: 5 Stars
I have to say I'm not sure if texts on atmospheric dynamics get better than this. Physics books in general, in fact, rarely provide an understanding of phenomena that is so concise, intuitive, and yet mathematically robust. I highly recommend it for children, as a gift, and for pleasure reading.
I also very seriously recommend it as a graduate textbook. Five stars all the way.
