Representaion Supposing Books The Book of Clouds
New in PaperSee the sky as you never have before. Using a series of his awe-inspiring images, photographer and scientist John Day--who has a Ph.D. in cloud physics and is known round the world as "The Cloudman"--introduces us to earth's great skyscape. His spectacular portfolio of pictures captures a variety of cloud forms and shapes, ranging from cottony-soft cumulus clouds to frightening, whirling funnels, as well as a number of optical effects, such as coronas and halos, seen in the heavens above. A magnificent cloud chart; an explanation of clouds formation; hints on forecasting, observing, and photographing clouds; and his "Ten Reasons to Look Up" teach us to use our inner eye to really perceive those familiar fleeting forms.

I'm so glad to have read this book!The Book of Clouds by John A. Day The subjects of this book are the bane of astronomy. They are only ice crystals or water droplets. They have marvelous shapes and lovely forms. They are beautiful and terrifying. Dynamic swirls, fluffs. A show. A science. Never the same. They sport coming attractions. They are the clouds.

This book is full of beautiful cloud photographs and accessible cloud science. Now when I look up at the sky and see so many different shapes, sizes, colors, and kinds, I understand how and why clouds form as they do. At least a little. :) I really do like the clouds!
Finally! A good cloud book! Alongside The Cloud Collector's Handbook, if you love studying all the wonderful variations of clouds, this book is the one for you. The author goes into clear and detailed description of the different types of clouds including all the variations and unusual ones. My biggest pet peeve with cloud books is that there's never enough photographs, and in some annoying cases, just sad artwork of clouds. This is not the case with this book - it is chock full of huge
I've received this most beautiful book as a birthday present.In the later years of High School I became fascinated with Geography.

Then,
pretty pictures, not much text.
