Its accessibility is due to the text’s emphasis on conceptual understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe first five chapters constitute a companion text to introductory courses covering the dynamics of the mid-latitude atmosphere. The final four chapters constitute a more advanced course and provide insights into the diagnostic power of the quasi-geostrophic approximation of the equations outlined in the previous chapters, the meso-scale dynamics of the frontal zone, the alternative PV perspective for cyclone interpretation, and the dynamics of the life-cycle of mid-latitude cyclones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWritten in a clear and accessible style\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFeatures real weather examples and global case studies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEach chapter sets out clear learning objectives and tests students' knowledge with concluding questions and answers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA Solutions Manual is also available for this textbook on the Instructor Companion Site \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.wileyeurope.com\/college\/martin\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ewww.wileyeurope.com\/college\/martin\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"...a student-friendly yet rigorous textbook that accomplishes what no other textbook has done before... I highly recommend this textbook. For instructors, this is a great book if they don't have their own class notes - one can teach straight from the book. And for students, this is a great book if they don't take good class notes - one can learn straight from the book.
