Boy, Were We Wrong about the Weather!
Kathleen V. Kudlinski
This nonfiction book considers how ideas about weather have changed over recorded history. It looks at earlier explanations that proved mistaken, including an ancient Sumerian belief that an angry god caused thunder and lightning. Hurricanes, wind, rain, thunder, lightning, and climate change all appear as subjects whose explanations have shifted. A timeline accompanies pencil-and-computer-generated artwork, inviting readers to consider both old weather beliefs and what people currently understand.
