It’s Raining Frogs and Fishes

Jerry Dennis has written an excellent science book that is approriate for family reading.


I enjoyed reading It’s Raining Frogs and Fishes more than any other books, this season. It is fun romp through the natural sciences, organized by annual season: spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

Dennis describes natural weather patterns and their effects, including a particularly lucid explanation of the Coriolis effect. As a certified pilot, I have studied weather extensively, and I wish I had read this book, during my training; it is much more readable than the aviation weather texts I have previously read.

The book is chock full of accessible explanations of the causes of heat, hail, and halos.

I judge this is a book that appropriate for each household’s bookshelf; it is a perfect family reading. I have ordered a personal copy for my family’s collection!
