Innovators series.
Meteorology is explored in depth through chapters devoted to major innovators in the field, from Fahrenheit and Franklin to modern-day tornado chasers. The accompanying black-and-white photos lack crispness, and little space is devoted to such standard topics as blizzards and floods. Nevertheless, this title will help researchers and extend most weather-book collections. Bib., glos., ind.

Innovators series.
In clear, readable prose, the books in this series center their surveys on seven or eight pioneers in their fields, including Tycho Brahe (observational astronomy), William Herschel (deep space), James Marsh (toxicology), and Alec Jeffreys (DNA fingerprints). Varied black-and-white illustrations, photos, and other marginalia extend the text. Bib., glos., ind. [Review covers these titles: Astronomy and Forensics.]
