Science in Focus is a broad-based science series that answers these questions and many more. It gives a clear introduction to curriculum topics and is an easy reference tool for research. The clear, well-written text is generously illustrated with large colour photographs and diagrams. Fact and History boxes extend the information, and Evidence boxes suggest practical investigative activities.
Weather examines the impact of weather on all our everyday lives, including:
* global climate change and its effects, such as increased temperatures and rising sea levels
* tropical storms and tornadoes - the most destructive weather systems on Earth
* winds around the world, from the monsoon to jet streams.
