Can the Jannah Jewels escape the fiery arrows of pirates and make it safely back home? This is the ultimate guidebook for anyone who needs to know the details of operational weather analysis and forecasting, not just theoretical aspects and basic concepts. It is geared toward meteorology professionals, students, pilots, flight dispatchers, amateurs, storm chasers, and spotters.

Basic physical concepts are reviewed, and then the book covers thermodynamics, surface analysis, and upper analysis. There is a thorough overview of weather systems, including their thermal structure, dynamics, and effects. The technical level spans the entire range of intermediate to advanced in an easy-to-understand format. Excessive introductory content and complicated math are omitted, and the concepts and examples focus squarely on actual forecast considerations, real life cases, and those rare bits of wisdom that make or break a forecast.

And for university students, the experience distilled in these books contains valuable insight into the forecast process that simply isn't conveyed by courses filled with emphasis on dynamics and physics.

Science has played the role of muse for the arts, inspiring imaginative reconfigurations of scientific themes and exploring their cultural resonance. Conversely, the arts are often deployed in the service of science communication, illustration, and popularization. STS scholars have sought to resist the instrumentalization of the arts by the sciences, emphasizing studies of theories and practices across disciplines and the distinctive and complementary contributions of each.

The manifestation of this commonality of creative and epistemic practices is the emergence of Art, Science, and Technology Studies ASTS as the interdisciplinary exploration of art—science. This handbook defines the modes, practices, crucial literature, and research interests of this emerging field. It explores the questions, methodologies, and theoretical implications of scholarship and practice that arise at the intersection of art and STS.

Drawing on methods and concepts derived from STS and allied fields including visual studies, performance studies, design studies, science communication, and aesthetics and the knowledge of practicing artists and curators, ASTS is predicated on the capacity to see both art and science as constructions of human knowledge- making.

Accordingly, it posits a new analytical vernacular, enabling new ways of seeing, understanding, and thinking critically about the world. This handbook provides scholars and practitioners already familiar with the themes and tensions of art—science with a means of connecting across disciplines. It proposes organizing principles for thinking about art—science across the sciences, social sciences, humanities, and arts.

Encounters with art and science become meaningful in relation to practices and materials manifest as perceptual habits, background knowledge, and cultural norms. As the chapters in this handbook demonstrate, a variety of STS tools can be brought to bear on art—science so that systematic research can be conducted on this unique set of knowledge-making practices.
