It sounds like a lot, but Earth's atmosphere is smeared onto its surface in an alarmingly thin layer -- 99 percent contained within 18 miles. Yet, within this fragile margin lies a magnificent realm -- at once gorgeous, terrifying, capricious, and elusive. With his keen eye for identifying and uniting seemingly unrelated events, Christopher Dewdney reveals to us the invisible rivers in the sky that affect how our weather works and the structure of clouds and storms and seasons, the rollercoaster of climate. 18 Miles is a kaleidoscopic and fact-filled journey that uncovers our obsession with the atmosphere and weather -- as both evocative metaphor and physical reality. From the roaring winds of Katrina to the frozen oceans of Snowball Earth, Dewdney entertains as he gives readers a long overdue look at the very air we breathe."-- Page [4] of cover.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 551.5 De Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 551.5 Dewdney Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 551.5 De Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 551.5 De Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 551.5 De Checked In Add Copy to MyList Molokai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 551.5 De Checked In Add Copy to MyList
