Synopsis:
Phenomena of the sky, including rainbows, meteors, tornadoes and the northern lights, are examined and explained in this look at the natural world. The book is an inquiry into the dozens of the world's most interesting and baffling phenomena: what causes rainbows and mirages; what are the mechanics behind such spectacular events as tornadoes, hurricanes and thunderstorms; why do birds and insects migrate, and how do they navigate over hundreds of miles to do it; and how did previous civilizations explain windstorms, eclipses and the bizarre but, well-documented cases of fish, reptiles, snails and even snakes that have rained to earth? Author Jerry Dennis and illustrator Glenn Wolff approach these baffling questions with curiosity and wonder, and even suggest ways to observe firsthand the extraodinary occurrences that take place in the skies. Arranged by seasons, these essays blend scientific findings with historical anecdotes, personal observations, and lore and superstition.
About the Author:

His books, most of them illustrated by Glenn Wolff, have received wide acclaim, have been translated into five languages, and have won numerous awards. He lives in northern Michigan. Visit him at www.jerrydennis.net.

Glenn Wolff grew up in northern Michigan but he began his career in New York City as an illustrator for The New York Times, Village Voice, the Central Park Conservancy, and the New York Zoological Society. In addition to his collaborations with Jerry Dennis, he has illustrated a broad range of subjects, including food, Christmas, mythical beasts, and lost continents. Glenn’s mixed media fine art is shown throughout the U.S. and Canada and is included in numerous private and public collections. More on his work can be found at www.glennwolff.com.
