Description
A one-of-a-kind illustrated guide to clouds, cloud formations, and the artists who painted them.
The mystery of clouds has captivated scientists and artists alike. This unique book shows you how to use the meteorological techniques of nephology to identify these elusive and transmutable shapes.
It curates, classifies, and measures every species, including those recently discovered, considering the height, size, texture, arrangement, modifications, and movement of their many shifting forms.
Clouds blends a lively and engaging narrative by one of today's leading meteorologists with an essay on historic cloud art, and includes a wealth of breathtaking cloud studies by some of the greatest artists ever to look skyward.
