The British public's preoccupation with our ever-changing weather, together with El Nino and the climactic effect of global warming, means that this is a subject that constantly attracts attention. In a new book that forms part of Collins Natural History's successful "How to Identify" series, the weather is broken down into easy-to-follow sections. Once the basic forms and mechanisms are understood it is then possible to forecast the weather, particularly in your locality. The following topics will be included: how to identify cloud types and other atmospheric phenomena; how clouds are formed and how rain is produced; weather systems and how they move and develop; how weather differs in different regions; how to interpret satellite images; and how to forecast weather.

Private McAuslan, J., the Dirtiest Soldier in th World (alias the Tartan Caliban or the Highland Division's answer to Pekin Man) demonstrates his unfitness for the service in this first volume of stories of life in a Scottish regiment. Unkempt, ungainly and unwashed...civilian readers may regard him with shocked disbelief, but a generation of ex-servicemen have already hailed him with delight as an old familiar friend.
