IT'S RAINING FROGS & FISHES - Jerry Dennis/ Glenn Wolff

IT'S RAINING FROGS AND FISHES Four Seasons of Natural Phenomena and Oddities of the Sky by Jerry Dennis and drawing by Glenn Wolff "is a generously illustrated inquiry into dozens of the natural world's most interesting and baffling phenomena: Where do meteors and comets originate? What causes rainbows, mirages, and the colors of the sunset? Why does it rain from some clouds and not from others? It is true that no two snowflakes are alike? What are the mechanics of such spectacular events as blizzards, tornadoes, hurricanes, and thunderstorms? Why do some birds migrate, and how do they navigae over hundreds - - sometimes thousands - of miles to do it? How have civilizations throughout history dealt with such poweful and seemingly inexplicable occurrences as the aurora borealis, windstorm, eclipses, and the bizarre but well documented case of fish, reptiles, snails, and even snakes that have rained to earth? Author Jerry Dennis and illustrator Glenn Wolff approach such troublesome questions with curiosity and wonder, and suggest ways to observe firsthand extraordinary weather, astronomical anomaliers, and odd and interesting wildlife of the skies. Each subject is arranged by season and discussed in a concise, lively, and entertaining essay that blends the most recent scientific findings with historical anecdotes, personal observations, and examples of the lore and superstiions that have always surrounded phenomena of the natural world."
