Review of the hardback: 'The volume as a whole seems lovingly assembled, with careful content and consistently high-quality technical editing and printing … Doug Lilly seems to have integrated all these phenomena, processes, issues, and approaches into a uniquely broad and deep scientific outlook … the glowing tributes in this book indicate that he has also been a masterful teacher, a revered mentor, and a treasured colleague to many current leading lights on the field of meteorology. This book, a sampler of new and vital science material, rich with glimpses of the human and historical side of the field, seems a fitting tribute.' Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society
