Good explanations in a few pages

Nuclear Power is Not the Answer to Global Warming or Anything Else – Review
This small book gives a very logical explanation of how Bay Area weather is formed by topography, winds, and the ocean. He devotes sections to the four seasons, in which he tells how the fog is formed, where storms reach from, and why there is so much variation within Bay Area microclimates. He also has a chapter on clouds, and a final chapter on climate change. I never knew much about weather (besides what I fully understood from forecasts on TV: sunny, partly cloudy, rain, etc.), but now I appreciate more the single environments of the SF Bay region.
