What We Are Reading Today: The Global Circulation of the Atmosphere

Edited By Tapio Schneider & Adam H. Sobel

Despite major advances in the observation and numerical simulation of the atmosphere, basic features of the earth’s climate remain poorly understood. 

Integrating the available data and computational resources to improve our understanding of the global circulation of the atmosphere remains a challenge. Theory must play a critical role in meeting this challenge. 

This book provides an authoritative summary of the state of the art on this front.

What We Are Reading Today: ‘Grasshoppers, Locusts, and Crickets of the World’

Authors: Martin Husemann and Oliver Hawlitchek

Grasshoppers, locusts, crickets, bush crickets, and katydids make up the order of insects known as Orthoptera. Although there are about 30,000 species of Orthoptera around the world, many people pay little attention to them and even scientists know relatively little about them.

Yet the world of grasshoppers is a fascinating and diverse one. In this richly illustrated book, leading researchers from around the world detail the many facets of these insects, including their evolution, life cycles, and mating behavior.
