Eric Sloane's Weather Almanac A Classic Illustrated Guide To Weather Folklore And Forecasting

Eric Sloane (1905-1985) was known in the 1960s and 1970s as a popular, Norman Rockwell-like illustrator and folklorist. Eric Sloane was one of the top weather experts in the country. He prepared weather models for the U.S. Navy and designed the Hall of Atmosphere for the American Museum of Natural History. Equally noted as a painter, Mr. Sloane exhibited in many galleries. Feeling that the sky was a subject generally ignored by most artists, he did many paintings of skies and clouds, and tried to fill the gap in technical books on painting with his book "Skies and the Artist." Mr. Sloan also wrote and illustrated many articles on sailing and flying as well as on weather.Sloane, Eric is the author of 'Eric Sloane's Weather Almanac A Classic Illustrated Guide To Weather Folklore And Forecasting', published 2005 under ISBN 9780896586802 and ISBN 0896586804.
