Soft Cover. Condición: Cover scuffed, otherwise good. First Edition. Designed for the traveller not widely familiar with the vagaries of climates in south, southeast and east Asian countries, this very useful guide begins with a discussion of such features as monsoons, cyclones, typhoons, and other climatic extremes that the vis…itor may at times encounter. Followed by a detailed annual description and supporting charts of climates for each of 26 countries, the guide is an excellent tool to determine what may be the best period of the year in which to visit this region, depending on the goals of the individual traveller. A useful section is included on health risks and suggested precautions, by Dr Cecilia Leslie, a specialist in tropical medicine. As climate norms have changed measurably in the 40 years since the publication of this book, it also provides a valuable reference tool and baseline for those studying the effects of global warming on Asia today. 112 pp., 13 maps Size: 23 x 12.7 cm.
