I purchased this book a few years ago and immediately joined the Cloud Appreciation society as a result. I could not stop going on at people about how much they were missing out on just by not looking up! This is a beautiful book which reminds you of the much ignored skyscape above our heads.

There is a handy chart as a frontispiece, which will help the reader to identify specific cloud types, and flick quickly to the relevent chapter. The genera are, lowest in the sky to highest: Cumulus, Stratus, ... Read the complete review
