A little about the book
How do you know what the weather will do tomorrow? A. C. Gilbert, the toy maker behind the Erector set, explains it for young readers, starting with simple experiments that prove the air is something rather than nothing.
From there he moves on to wind, pressure, temperature, clouds and rain, and shows how to rig up a home weather bureau with a weather vane, barometer and rain gauge. It is a hands-on science book that still makes a fun first introduction to meteorology.
