Review by Booklist Review

Despite the tongue-in-cheek cartoons, this continuation series means business. Packed with infographics and factoids, the colorful and somewhat madcap books provide a brief but thorough history of things mostly taken for granted. You Wouldn't Want to Live without Extreme Weather looks at weather on a global scale, noting how it can shape the world and our environment over time, and elaborates on various types of storms. In addition to these exhaustive histories, each volume is accompanied by extensive back matter, including time lines, fun facts, and Top Of lists. The illustrations and general tone may be teasing, but the information within is anything but, making these a legitimate and easily navigable resource for budding researchers.--Reagan, Maggie Copyright 2010 Booklist
