Her book is a delightful read for scientists, citizen scientists and anyone curious about Life on Earth. Each chapter has a unique story, visits to fascinating places around the world, meetings with reknown scientists and an occasional smattering of classic poetry! Austin takes her readers on one adventure after another through the eyes of a meteorologists including D-Day, John F. Kennedy Jr.&#8217;s plane crash, frightening incidents caused by shifting weather patterns, the GAIA hypothesis and her own fascinating research projects. The discussion on climate change and humanities role in this reality is relevant to everyone! One of my favorite lines: &#8220;If humans lived to be 400, we would live very differently.&#8221; We would see clearly the unintended consequences of our choices.
