Forrester, 1958 Hardcover","description":"In 1958, weather forecasting was still a world of barometers, weather balloons, and educated guesswork — satellites were brand new, Doppler radar didn't exist, and meteorology carried a genuine sense of mystery and wonder. The Real Book About the Weather by Frank H. Forrester captures that moment perfectly, bringing the science of weather to young readers with the engaging, fact-forward style that made the Real Book series a mid-century staple.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForrester was a working meteorologist, which gives this book real credibility as a science text of its era — and makes it a fascinating historical document of how weather science was understood and taught to children before the technology we now take for granted. Part of Garden City Books' beloved Real Book series, a collectible mid-century children's non-fiction staple alongside the Random House All About Books.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShips from Altadena, CA.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCondition\u003cbr\u003eGood vintage condition, no dust jacket. \u003cbr\u003eAs with all vintage books, these works carry the marks of their age — which may include worn or loose spines, light smudging or distressed areas, fading and discoloration, and softened corners.
