Why read it?

1 author picked Reginald Sutcliffe and the Invention of Modern Weather Systems Science as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

As a long-time college friend of Jonathan Martin, I was witness to Jon’s passion of meteorology during his undergraduate studies. 

An example of his passion, prior to an intra-mural championship softball game, he stood watching a unique cloud formation instead of warming up for the game. To this day, nary an email or conversation is without a meteorologic reference. 

His biography of Reginald Sutcliffe not only details the math and science behind Sutcliffe’s professional life, but he also intertwines Sutcliffe’s personal life. 

Jon spent his sabbatical to interview Sutcliffe’s colleagues and family for the book.
