Worthwhile for the "Everyday" cloud-watcher
This is a useful weather field guide because it spends most time illustrating regular weather phenomena. By that, I mean it spends most time on the various types of clouds, "garden-variety" thunderstorms, and ordinary optical phenomena like rainbows, irridescence, halo(e)s, and the like - the kind of stuff you're most likely to see if you glance out your bedroom window of a morning, or . . . whatever. (It's hard not to sound corny there!)Also, the text goes into how such phenomena comes about, which is useful.Read more

The definitive textbook on atmospheric optical effects.
This is the standard textbook on atmospheric optical effects, by the Professor of Physics at the University of Wisconsin in Milwaukee.His book features precise explanations of the physics behind all optical atmospheric phenomena, from halos and parhelia to sun pillars, Parry's arcs, glories and the "Spectre of the Brocken".Computer modeling is used to recreate light rays through ice crystals in various orientations to explain the changing shapes of atmospheric optical effects with different angles between the sun and the horizon.But scientific precision also comes with a very readable text.Over a hundred color photographs illustrate some of the beautiful visual effects that can be seen in the sky. Interesting sidelines are also explored, such as making and photographing your own infra-red rainbow!Finally, various intriguing puzzles are left for the reader to solve, such as the photograph shown on the cover of the book - how can there be a rainbow over a snow-covered landscape?For those who really want to understand the optics of atmospheric effects, this book is required reading.

Made Sense of It All
This is a terrific, clear explanation of air pollution rules. As a plant manager, I got more useful information from this book than I got in five years of paying attorneys and consultants. It's an easy read and it's easy to find the information you need. In the 700 pages (not 1,500 like somebody else said) Mr. Trzupek makes sense of all of the rules that nobody can understand, gives you weapons to fight with and provides a bunch of resources to use. This is a book I can actually use.

Not Worth It
Three hundred pages of generalities, very little specific. 1200 pages of appendix. The book was over price, considering it is really nothing more than a dictionary of air quality compliance and permitting. The chapters and topics over and over suggest the topic at hand is complicated and changing and to variable to go into specifics. For 90 dollars and 1500 pages I want to know specifics for different processes, at different levels, in different regions, in different states. On page three he suggests that if you are looking for a book that covers every possible contingency this book is not for you...he is correct...yet the book should be renamed to 'If You Are In Business, You Can't Afford Not To Hire Someone That Can Understand Air-Quality Compliance...But Not Write A Comprehensive Text On The Subject in 1500 Pages or Less". ...
