Terms and definitions
Weather facts? It's more like a book of terms and definitions. So disappointed!

Disappointing book
I received this book as a gift. It is self-published by the author, who has seemingly not developed much writing skill (yet) and didn't utilize the services of a good editor. (There are many spelling and grammatical errors and shortcomings, from page 2, where it says "ALL RIGTHS RESERVED," all the way to the back cover's odd claim that new developments propel "meteorological studies into the 21st century stratosphere.") In the introduction it says I will discover "400+ mind-blowing, enjoyable, and astonishing weather facts," but I haven't found one yet that was any of these. The introduction goes on to say, "The carefully curated interior layout serves as a visual and intellectual guide, ensuring that each page is not just a source of information but a window into the fascinating world of atmospheric wonders." As illustrated by the attached photo, the "layout" of each chapter is simply a numbered list, and it's not a "visual guide" because there is not one photograph in the entire book. Every entry is extremely brief, and there are no footnotes or citations to direct an interested reader to learn more. It might be a good starting project for an aspiring student writer, but there is a huge gap between the claim of this book's title and its actual contents.
