Review
Barrys hallmark book represents a well-organized, well-crafted set of principles on how weather and climate processes operate in mountain environments . . . [it] remains the major reference on the subject.
–Arctic and Alpine Research

. . . a comprehensive treatment of the elements, processes, and controls of mountain climates. . . . On the one hand, it should satisfy the mountain crowd, ranging from alpine aficionados to serious scholars in all branches of mountain science; on the other, it is a must read for meteorologists and climatologists.
–Professional Geographer
