The Cloud Book

This book is great! Beautiful pictures and easy to understand descriptions of the clouds, ie composition, position in atmosphere, etc

Enjoy the information given.

This book has everything a normal person would ever want to know about clouds and probably alot of information most people don't. Virtually every page in this book has beautifull color pictures of the clouds currently being discussed. Every cloud has a latin name and scientic symbol that needs to be learned to carry on through the book. Would be good for reference use but not a good book to just sit down and thumb through.

The product is great... not just at home, but when I travel with kids. I can point at a cloud while watching the road on a long trip and ask them to look it up or just tell me what kind it is... The interaction is good and we continue watching clouds when camping. Can do it at the park or at home, too.

Harmony and serenity personified. Utterly stunning, our natural world, right in front of us, stunning quality, speaks to the Buddhist tenet that we have all we need right in front of us. I look at it each morning and evening when I sit in my garden. Brings solace to a dear friend who just lost his wife to cancer.

Beautiful photography. Written for a cloud, meteorolgy enthusiast/hobbyist I made it my coffee table book. I love it.

I loved this book. It was a bit technical in places, but I loved the pictures and the links to artists like John Constable and some of the poets.

I used this book along with others to develop a lesson plan to teach a course on weather to local pilots. Amazon.com has a wide range of books new and preowned for reference to writing, learning or enjoyment.

My husband and I often comment on strange clouds we see, or the different types of clouds, and we have said so many times that we should get a book so that we know what we are looking at! This book fit the bill nicely, we have both enjoyed reading this separately, and together. The photos make identifying what we have seen, really easy and there is a nice explanation next to each photo to explain what the formation is called and how it is formed. This is an excellent book to provide an overview of clouds for the interested novice!

Good reading & pics.

It is a delight to read and covers every aspect of the sky and clouds. It is beautifully written and although it is detailed, the cloud descriptions are relatively short and concise which makes for light and easy reading - a perfect reference book. If you are looking to educate yourself about the clouds above then this book is definitely for you. Es una delicia leer y cubre todos los aspectos del cielo y las nubes. Está bellamente escrito y, aunque está detallado, las descripciones de las nubes son relativamente cortas y concisas, lo que permite una lectura ligera y fácil: un libro de referencia perfecto. Si busca educarse sobre las nubes de arriba, entonces este libro es definitivamente para usted.

Great book...very pleasing and neat appearance. Sufficient scientific explanation for a beginner to start exploring the exciting field of cloud spotting. Thank you and best wishes..

Blatantly copied from my review of the pocket version of this book. This version has bigger and better photographs but would need a bigger pocket! If you've ever wondered aloud what sort of cloud was drifting across your field of vision as you lay back in your garden lounger. If you've ever seen clouds rolling in as you pass the point of no-return between your house and the pub and wondered if you should have brought a coat. If you've got fed up with other 'spotting' hobbies because the focus of your hobby keeps flying or buzzing away before you can get an identification book out. Then cloud spotting and this book is for you. The guide is very logically laid out with each cloud having its own section. There's a handy quick reference bit at the front with small pictures of clouds and the pages you need to turn to for a more detailed identification. Each section has a description of what a particular cloud can tell you about the weather due to come your way. The clarity of the text and the layout is only rivalled by the pocket version but this wins due to the larger but less pocket friendly layout.. I've bought several copies for other people of the pocket version who, upon seeing my copy, have asked for their own. There's quite a group of us at work across the world who now are members of the cloud spotting fraternity and have copies of that book. We all have this book now as well! I can't help but feel that this is how loony cults develop! Buy this book and join us!
