This is an invaluable resource for anyone involved in the business of forecasting. Based on more than 100 years of developments in atmospheric science, this book summarises the many possible ways to assess the skill of forecasts/predictions. The book is well written with a consistent notation and I found it a pleasure to read. It will become a reference for forecasters for years to come.
