Summary: Fun read when you are under the 'weather'! ;-)
Review: "The Handy Weather Answer Book" by Dr. Walter Lyons is a must-read for anyone interested in something that binds us all, weather, or course!Meteorology was a part of my geology curriculum at the university level. However, there is information provided in this book that you're not likely to get in an institution of higher learning, such as: "Who is likely to be killed by severe weather-related events?"; "Has ice ever reached the Gulf of Mexico via the Mississippi River?"; "What is a hypercane?"; "What is a glory?"; "Is human breath destroying the pyramids?"; "What do lake breezes have to do with spiders?"; "What is the driest continent?" (this one surprised me!) The book is filled with trivia questions, but it is also filled with information that might even help save your life as you'll be better prepared with your newfound knowledge. The craftsmanship of the book is average as far as paperbacks are concerned as it is somewhat flimsy with average paper and printing. However, the information easily outweighs the physical quality. It's a great book for all ages. Very simple to understand and it gets straight to the point. Excellent read!

Summary: A must-have for the weather fan
Review: "The Handy Weather Answer Book" is a great weather read and reference guide. The entire book is written in question-answer format, and it's very good if you want to find a quick, simple, and easy-to-read answer. It gives specific definitions of commonly used weather terms and also some other terms that are not heard as often. There is also a very detailed index so it's fairly simple to find the question you're looking for. The book is divided into sections, such as "Tornadoes" and "Hurricanes", etc. This book is great to boost an interest in Meteorology. I'd definitely recommend it!

Summary: Simple answers to common weather questions
Review: Dr. Walter Lyons and I go back a few years. He's always been a very practical guy, and he did a wonderful job as an on-air TV meteorologist in Minneapolis explaining weather to his viewers. This book is much like that, simple, sensible answers to sometimes hard to explain weather and meteorological phenomena. Perhaps a bit light on illustrations, but certainly a good reference to have when you just want to get a few questions answered in a short time.

Summary: Great for beginners!
Review: Lyon's books presents readers with a simple, readable format with comprehensive and concise answers to every type of weather-related question available. Great for the beginner weather [person]. The more experienced weather watcher may want to find a more detailed explaination for some answers, though. Lyon's section on sprites is a great plus as it contains much information which is not surprising as he is an expert on sprites. Recommended.

Summary: Excellent
Review: There are very few weather books oriented to people older than 12. This is one that is and has a lot of good information. It is in a question and answer format, but is informative and very quick to read. Definitely recommended for all your questions related to weather.
