Essentials Of Meteorology: An Invitation To The Atmosphere Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
This updated and enhanced seventh edition of ESSENTIALS OF METEOROLOGY is written by the most widely read and authoritative author in introductory meteorology-Donald Ahrens. Ahrens's ability to explain relatively complicated ideas in a student-friendly, manageable fashion allows even non-science students to visualize the principles of meteorology. The text's clear and inviting narrative is supplemented by numerous pedagogical features that encourage observing, calculating, and synthesizing information. New critical thinking questions linked to key figures and concept animation boxes point to online animations and appendices allowing students to immediately apply the text material to the world around them--and understand the underlying meteorological principles.

The cheapest way to go about this would to be just to buy the access code since it comes with the book in computer form. Bought this book really expensively thinking it came with the access code but it didn't. I ended up way overpaying for everything.
I was disappointed in utilizing the same ISB number from the college bookstore to receive a book without the Code Card needed for the online class.
This book read like a 5000 level meteorology course. I rented the online version of this book for an online class and it was completely painful. I'm not sure if this is actually an intro level meteorology book or if this is for advanced studies so I don't want to be too hard on the book. But I didn't like the way this book read at all. I found myself having to read things over and over to feel like I was getting a good understanding what was going on.
I'm in the beginning stages of the class, but it is meeting my expectations and the class requirements.Not sure of the return process. It is new to me and there was no information enclosed with the book.
Students who are interested in meteorology can learn about the basis of weather and climate for this textbook. It is very useful and helpful for learning.
This book is exactly what I needed for class. It is in great condition
It was a very descriptive textbook
very nice tb good explanations.
