Following an air mass across America

Eric Sloane combines meteorology with pen-and-ink illustrations to trace one air mass from the Canadian Rockies to northern New England. Its journey provides the structure for an account of how it meets other parts of weather systems and crosses paths with Americans from varied backgrounds. The book brings weather observation together with landscape and details of early American history, reflecting Sloane’s interests as a painter, forecaster, writer, and historian. The result is an illustrated, geographically grounded look at weather as it unfolds across a continent.

A delightful blend of serious meteorology and beautiful illustrations, this informative book displays the many talents of Eric Sloane. A writer, landscape painter, weather forecaster, and authority on early American history, Sloane takes readers with him on a voyage of discovery as he traces a single air mass from the Canadian Rockies to northern New England. A vivid narrative and the author's own pen-and-ink sketches describe the progress of the air mass over America, and tell about its encounters with other elements of weather systems and with Americans from a variety of backgrounds.
