It's Raining Frogs and Fishes, a lighthearted look at the world's weather, collects oddments and tidbits on climatological matters. Among the book's many high points are Jerry Dennis's natural history of mirages (there are many more than the usual desert variety) and his examination of the age-old question about whether the aurora borealis roars. At other points he looks into ancient Roman beliefs about lightning, the adaptive strategies of the Galapagos penguin, and the origins of dew.

Wonderful Reading for the Nature Enthusiast! - Jerry K. Hatfield - Lubbock, Texas
This book is a must read for anyone intrigued by natural phenomena relating to all sorts of things including "why birds don't fall off tree branches when they sleep". This book is much more than weather and sky. It is one that you will pick up and read again and again. I heartily recommend it. Get yours today! Makes a nice Christmas gift too!
