WEATHER DETECTIVE (PB)

As soon as we step out of the door, nature surrounds us. Thousands of small and large processes are taking place, but we've long forgotten how to recognise them. This book invites us to regain our expertise and interpret the signs that clouds, wind, plants and animals convey. Chaffinches become weather prophets; bees are live thermometers; courgettes tell us the time. Combining scientific research with charming anecdotes, this book reveals the extraordinary cycles of life, death and regeneration taking place right next to us.
