Počasí je posledním fenoménem na Zemi, který si lidé dosud nedokázali podmanit. Nejsme schopni je ani přesně předpovídat, ani je nedokážeme ovlivnit. Jak ale funguje? Tato bohatě ilustrovaná kniha, která doprovází i televizní seriál BBC, nás zavede do nitra procesů, jež počasí utvářejí. Od hurikánů po písečné bouře a od monzunů, sněhových bouří, přes sluneční bouře a jet stream, všude tam nás doprovodí kniha Počasí. Najdeme v ní vysvětlení těch nejnebezpečnějších projevů zemského klimatu. Za pomoci dokonalých počítačových animací nám zprostředkuje těžko viditelné divy světa a pomůže nám představit si, jak vypadá vnitřek tornáda a další jevy. Jak se podařilo Japoncům za druhé světové války nepozorovaně dopravit bomby až na území USA? Proč v Los Angeles stoupá počet vražd právě ve dnech, kdy vane vítr zvaný Santa Ana? Jak může projekt Cirrus pomoci vědcům zmírnit ničivé účinky hurikánů? Publikace Počasí přináší nejnovější vědecké poznatky, a díky nim dává odpověď nejen na tyto a podobné otázky, ale také naznačuje, jaký bude dopad současných globálních změn počasí v našem nevypočitatelném světě.

Lynch’s gorgeous tale, he creates two worlds—underwater and above—to tell an epic and haunting love story.Jacob and his father are the only people who fish Lake Spetzia, which was formed when the river was dammed and their town was flooded.

As Jacob grows up, a village girl named Ellen falls in love with him, and he with her. But before they are married, Jacob disappears—lured underwater by the ghosts who inhabit the sunken village. Years go by, with Jacob held captive by the watery spirits and Ellen never giving up hope that she will find him, until a fateful night when Jacob sees the light of Ellen’s boat floating above. Can he break free and reach the surface? Masterful illustrations alive with achingly expressive characters and eerie underwater light bring readers into acclaimed creator P.J. Lynch’s rich world of love, loss, and hope.
