Some are physically misplaced from the text, and since figures are not numbered, it is often hard to determine exactly which figure the author is referring to. And several of the figures are either not relevant to the discussion, missing an element or wrong in what they are supposed to present. Such sloppiness is prevalent throughout this book. The text tells us that the figure contains a broad arrow, that is not present, to depict the general flow of the jet stream. It then uses that missing arrow to explain the areas that will likely see snowfall over the next day.
Many definitions differ from accepted usage within the field, often in small but important ways.
Others do not go far enough. The author relegates the sea breeze circulation to the microscale grouping. Again, most meteorologists place the synoptic scale above the mesoscale in size, below the large scale or global regime. There are many other such comments I could make where this book could use another rewrite, but I close with comment on one piece of material which I found disturbing in its inclusion. Emerson's view comes from a time when there was a widespread belief, put forward by northern Europeans, that considered tropical dwellers to be inferior races.
