Book Title: Air Apparent - How Meteorologists Learned to Map, Predict, and Dramatize Weather
Author: Mark Monmonier
Amazon (hardcover):
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0226534227/
Amazon (paperback):
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0226534235/
There are a couple of reader reviews on the Amazon pages that describe the book. I'll just say that it's an interesting read and the history of science's understanding of weather seems to mirror the way a newbie comes to understand it - so it provides a nice introduction: taking you from the world of two-dimensional maps into the four-dimensional world of weather and forecasting. Highly recommended - especially for the $4-$5 USED book prices!
