Biography
Patrick Hughes, at the time of the publication of this book, was with Environmental Data Service, Environmental Science Services Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, Washington, DC.
‘Patrick Hughes has produced two popular accounts of the twistings and turnings and bureaucratic reshufflings from the original Signal Service to the Environmental Science Services Administration and the threshold of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)…Hughes's eye as a free-lance photographer has served him well… The book is suitable for "popular" libraries that need a well-produced, rapid overview of the subject.’
- James A. Ruffner, Bulletin American Meteorological Society, Vol. 51, No. 9, September 1970
