Doing Something About the Weather
Remember Mark Twains complaint that everybody talks about the weather but nobody does anything about it? Now author Victor Boesen reveals in this fascinating book that something finally is being done. Through hard work and imagination scientists are trying to subdue such ruthless destroyers as drought, tornadoes, hurricanes, hail, and fog. Boesen predicts that man will have gained major control over weather conditions that every year take thousands of lives and destroy food and property worth billions of dollars. Here is the absorbing story of experiments with such magic tools as silver iodide that eventually will lead to solving many of the greatest problems of our environment.A Junior Literary Guild Selection, Doing Something About the Weather was cited by the National Science Teachers Association and Childrens Book Council as an Outstanding Science Book for Children.
