Praise for Weather Witchery: "Lucid, very lucid writing! Awesome book. Practical and interesting information. New insights into natural magic are provided." (Merlyn) "Wit + Weather = Wonderful. Very informative. As always, Ms. Rasbold has shown a wit and charm in her writing. There are some very interesting facts, that show her time and effort in her research. I am highly comfortable in giving this title to my tween daughter to read and learn these aspects of weather magic. Great add to my collection." (Amazon Customer) "From Storm to Sun This Book Shines!! Thank you Katrina for this informative, fun and wonderfully useful book. As with all her writings Katrina's wit and knowledge shines through in Weather Witchery. From the history of storms to the power they harness we learn what each weather type stands for, brings with it and how to use that energy to empower ourselves and those around us. On a personal note I was able to finally release the dilemma of doing a working, am I changing something not meant to be change?. As Katrina points out, maybe my very act itself is part of the solution. Never again will I be frozen in indecision, to act rationally, with thought and good intention is preferred any day to inactivity. I was also reminded how empowering, beautiful and yes magical a storm can be. I recommend this book highly!!" (Tammy C) Praise for Days and Times of Power: "The Sun, the Moon, and Other Things. Another offering in the BioUniversal Energy Series, here Ms. Rasbold explains how solar and lunar influences, as well as yearly events and weather, can affect our own personal energies. Now that we've gotten a feel for how BioUniversal energy works from the other books in the series, we can start to expand our knowledge and abilities by taking into account these other variables. Whether you're an astrologer, an experienced energy worker or a BioUniversal Energy student, there is something useful and thought-provoking here for you." (K Albeck) "We have all learned how some people feel the effect of the full moon or how certain winds create negative energy, or the 'dog days' of summer. Well, this book goes into the important times of the year and what their significance is and how they can affect us and how we can harness that energy for positive results. Many of the important days fall near popular holidays, and it's no secret that many of our traditional holidays were adopted from non-Christian religions. As a Christian seeking to better understand God's natural world, I found this book to be especially helpful. God did make the moon and sun and stars to mark the seasons and times. We have gotten away from all that with our science and modern traditions, but this book re-awakens the ancient knowledge and can teach you a lot about the natural rhythms in our lives. Getting to read this book just before it was published has been a special privilege. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did." (Cowa)

From the acclaimed author of Tubes, a lively and surprising tour through the global network that predicts our weather, the people behind it, and what it reveals about our climate and our planet The weather is the foundation of our daily lives. It’s a staple of small talk, the app on our smartphones, and often the first thing we check each morning. Yet, behind all these humble interactions is the largest and most elaborate piece of infrastructure human beings have ever constructed—a triumph of both science and global cooperation. But what is the weather machine, and who created it? In The Weather Machine, Andrew Blum takes readers on a fascinating journey through the people, places, and tools of forecasting, exploring how the weather went from something we simply observed to something we could actually predict. As he travels across the planet, he visits some of the oldest and most important weather stations and watches the newest satellites blast off. He explores the dogged efforts of forecasters to create a supercomputer model of the atmosphere, while trying to grasp the ongoing relevance of TV weather forecasters. In the increasingly unpredictable world of climate change, correctly understanding the weather is vital. Written with the sharp wit and infectious curiosity Andrew Blum is known for, The Weather Machine pulls back the curtain on a universal part of our everyday lives, illuminating our changing relationships with technology, the planet, and our global community.
