1) Paperback Book Severe & Hazardous Weather: An Introduction to High Impact Meteorology by Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company. As an earth and atmospheric science professor who specializes in natural hazards, I´ve seen probably every text available on this subject. For atmospheric hazards in particular, this is the best textbook I´ve used. It is easily accessible to second year meteorology undergraduates, and could even be somewhat useful in a graduate course. Although the text emphasizes the meteorological science of atmospheric hazards more than the societal impacts, I´ve found it to be a good balance for a hazardous weather course. This is a substantial textbook with information on nearly all atmospheric hazards, and it is accompanied by a well-produced CD-ROM (and website), which contain a lot of supplemental material and work very well in the classroom. The print size is large and there are many supporting diagrams that are easy to read. My only complaint is the complete lack of discussion of fog, which is a significant natural hazard. Otherwise, this is a superb textbook.¤ Page Updated: Robert N. Goolsby, 22-Nov-2008, 07575175449780757517549, 510-000-280-820-290-440-530-8
