Topic: "New" Book about history of weather

[Old Tele man]

For Father's Day, my daughter sent me a book, "The Weather Experiment: The Pioneers Who Sought to See the Future" by British author Peter Moore, which I find to be a VERY interesting read. It is basically about the life & trials of RN Admiral Robert FitzRoy, captain of the HMS BEAGLE on the Darwin expedition, but NOT limited to just him, and his wish to 'prognosticate' weather.

Thanks for the good read!

What did you think of the author's "writing style"? It certainly was NOT "dull rhetoric" in my eyes, but rather enlightening, although I did have trouble with a few archaic British words.
