Scientists and artists have been fascinated by clouds for as long as we've had sky above us. This unique and beautiful book examines clouds using the meteorological techniques of nephology. It curates, classifies, and measures every cloud type - including recent discoveries - considering the height, size, texture, arrangement, modification and movement of their many shifting forms. Clouds is much more than a scientific textbook, however. Also incorporated into this lively and engaging narrative is an essay on classic cloud art, with breathtaking colour plates from some of the greatest artists ever to look skywards. John Constable, J.M.W. Turner and Caspar David Friedrich (just to mention a few!), who all painted cloud formations with incredible accuracy, provide the stunning illustrations. This will make a beautiful and informative gift for cloudspotters and weather prophets.
