Please can anyone recommend a book which explains weather systems and
methods of recording/interpreting data?

This is for a young man with Asperger's - literate but not articulate and
has a good understanding of maps and diagrams.

.... 5A.14, although entitled "Meteorology and Flight" would on the face
of it fit the bill.

You might like to review the publications available via the Royal
Meteorological Society at:-

http://www.rmets.org/publication/index.php

Incidentally (for anyone to contribute), this section (5A) has been
built up in a rather haphazard way - I don't have the resources to
review all new publications that cover the request made above: I would
like to add to the list with this specific 'market' in mind (i.e. good
quality, 'starter' books), so please let me know with a brief review
(see the FAQ for the idea of this latter), publisher/author name etc.,
and I can add it in.

Martin.

Thanks, with reservations - it threw up a very abrupt message ordering
me to go and get IE or Netscape (at this point I usually leave immediately)
which would be of no use at all on this OS!!

However I did download the relevant pdf.s - problem is I wish to order
whatever book from work (Social Services) and the Treasurers' don't do
CWO.

However, since this is a very common procedure with LAs and they do
supply Educational packs, is there a contact email address or phone number
whereby I can check ordering procedure please?

(I won't be in the office until some point next week so can't get to
the site on the council system)

Follow the links then via 'Publications'. If there is still a problem,
then let us know in this thread and those responsible for the site will
see it and perhaps respond ;-)

the latter is the 'all-purpose' email contact - they'll redirect as

No problems here with Firefox or Konqueror on Linux.

On first entering the site (whatever page) I get the javascript message box;
when I close it the page exits the browser window, leaving me with the
previous (unrelated) page in the history list.

However if I clear the cache before emptying the page remains - but I get
the javascript messages when accessing links.

Navigating the site with javascript permanently disabled is no problem.
(I'll take a look with IE when I'm next in the office at work and see
whether ther's anything missing when I view from here).

I don't think I could manage to teach myself the ins and outs of Linux.
