E-raamat: Clouds: How to Identify Nature's Most Fleeting Forms

"[ A] marriage of art and science. . . . Readers passionate about the skies and the artists who have studied them will find this book captivating." * Kirkus Reviews * "Graham's discussion of clouds is precise but refreshingly conversational somewhere between a college professor (which he is) and a TV weatherman. . . . Meanwhile, insights about art history are conveyed in captions alongside the many gorgeous 19th-century images."---Ron Charles, Washington Post "This fascinating book not only identifies types of clouds and explains how they form and disperse, but also reminds us of the close historical connection between art and science in capturing natural phenomena."---Simon Caterson, The Sydney Morning Herald "This truly excellent book will teach you the science of clouds in a manner accessible to anyone. You will be amazed at how easily you absorb the details and how you will almost immediately find yourself checking the sky and assigning labels to what you see."---David Gascoigne, Travels with Birds "What a field guide!"---Mark Avery "Wow, just wow! This is an absolutely stonkingly good book . . . . A fabulous fusion of art and science."---George McGavin, zoologist, entomologist and broadcaster "It's a must-have for anyone with a serious interest in clouds!"---Ian Paulsen, Birdbooker Report "A fascinating view of the history of clouds . . . . The illustrations chosen by the author are superb. They match the text so that the reader can recognise the painters understanding of the science.
