Former Editor of the USA Today's weather page joins us on WGN Midday News Tuesday to talk about The AMS Weather Book
A terrific new book on the weather and climate has hit the nation's book stands and we plan to talk about it with its author and former editor of the USA Today's weather page Jack Williams on WGN Midday News Tuesday (July 28). The book has received rave reviews from meteorologists-----but it is written for anyone with an interest in weather and climate.
Its approach is unique among books on these subjects because it introduces its readers to the remarkable people who work in the fields of meteorology and climatology. The product of years of work by one of this country's leading science writers Jack Williams, the AMS Weather Book gives you a first hand look at the weather professionals who fly into hurricanes, the scientists who take arctic ice cores and in an attempt to better understand and predict global climate change, the storm chasers who penetrate hurricanes and are in regular pursuit of the nation's tornadoes to the forecasters who devote their work days to predict nature's next move. The book takes the reader into every corner of the meteorological and climatological profession introducing us to those whose life's work is dedicated to producing a better understanding of our weather and climate systems.
It's an outstanding book--beautifully illustrated and full of stunning photos of the weather at work--- and we hope you are able to join us around 12:45pm on WGN Midday News Tuesday, July 28 as we talk to Jack Williams about his own fascinating career and the widely touted USA Today weather page.
