Reviews:
“Comprehensive and informative, exceptionally well written and organized, ‘The Skies Above: Storm Clouds, Blood Moons, and Other Everyday Phenomena’ provides readers with insights and understandings of the processes and events that are in the atmosphere…which not only reduces anxiety produced by raucous storms by understanding what is happening and why, but instills a stronger and more meaningful appreciation of the beauty of days both stormy and calm weather.” — Midwest Book Review
“The Skies Above is really the guide I need, a fun and readable overview of what we can observe by looking up. It covers everyday weather, major meteorological phenomena and astronomy. It’s a comprehensive go-to guide, perfect for a summer evening or camping trip.” — Matthew Miller, nature.org’s Cool Green Science
“The Skies Above explains nearly any and everything weather-related…. I found the book enlightening and a worthwhile source to have accessible when I see a cloud that I can’t identify or wonder about how the wind works and its effect on our daily weather. The illustrations are the right amount in quantity, the quality is bright and detailed, and they enhance the book overall.” — Rachel Dehning, Portland Book Review
