This is an old library book from 1974 that is for outdoorsmen, to help him or her better understand the weather and what to look for.
The contents of this book include:

Let it be noted that this book is from 1974 and is therefore outdated. However, being a weather buff myself, I can say that this book is still accurate in several ways. This book would make a good addition to a meteorologist's book collection, or anyone who collects old books. It would also be helpful to any outdoorsmen.
This book is used, and old, and has the normal signs of aging. However, it's in good condition considering it's age. None of the pages are damaged and the cover is still in good condition.
