There is a modern classic book on weather cycles called "Weather
Cycles real or imaginary" by William James Burroughs. It is now in its
second
edition. One of the blurbs on the back cover reads "'If there were ever
such
a thing as a meteorological thriller, Burroughs came close to writing one.
.... Every meteorologist and climatologist caught in the predictability
dilemma
should have this affordable book on his/her nightstand or, better yet, in
the
suitcase marked for summer vacation' Elmar R. Reiter, Meteorology and
Atmospheric Physics."

I would not call it bed time reading, but it is a must read if you are
interested
in those things.


Thanks Alastair. Book is now on order.

I hope you enjoy it, after that build up I gave it. I am feeling a bit guilty
now :-(

Cheers, Alastair.


Cheers,

Graham
