  This book is designed for undergraduate science and engineering students.  It assumes the student knows algebra and classical physics.  Calculus is not required, and no prior knowledge of meteorology is assumed.  Note: a newer edition was created in 2015, and was re-titled as Practical Meteorology: An Algebra-based Survey of Atmospheric Science (see below). 
  Chapters:
  
1. The atmosphere
   
2. Radiation
3. Heat
4. Moisture
5. Stability (& thermo diagrams)
   
6. Clouds
   
7. Precipitation
8. Remote sensing
9. Weather reports and map analysis
   
10. Dynamics
11. Global circulation
12. Air masses & fronts
13. Extratropical Cyclones
14. Thunderstorms
15. Thunderstorm hazards
    
16. Hurricanes
17. Local winds
18. Atmospheric boundary layer
    
19. Air pollution dispersion
20. Numerical weather prediction
    
21. Natural climate processes
    
22. Optics
