SUMMARY

A quirky, clever guide for everyone who loves to look up. Where do clouds come from? Why do they look the way they do? And why have they captured the imagination of timeless artists, Romantic poets, and every kid who's ever held a crayon? Journalist and lifelong sky watcher Gavin Pretor-Pinney reveals everything there is to know about clouds, from history and science to art and pop culture. Cumulus, nimbostratus, and the dramatic and seemingly surfable Morning Glory cloud are just a few of the varieties explored in this smart, witty, and eclectic tour through the skies. Generously illustrated with striking photographs and line drawings featuring everything from classical paintings to lava lamps, children's drawings, and Roman coins, "The Cloudspotter's Guide" will have science and history buffs, weather watchers, and the just plain curious floating on cloud nine.Pretor-Pinney, Gavin is the author of 'Cloudspotter's Guide ', published 2006 under ISBN 9780399532566 and ISBN 0399532560.
