Summary:
Handy little book
|
Comment:
I definitely recommend this book as an introduction to weather and clouds. It's inexpensive and small enough to be portable. The illustrations are nice. The text straightforward. It was especially helpful to me spending time on an ornithology project needing weather descriptions, including cloud types, every hour.

Fairly good cloud book

Comment:
I have seen one other book that I thought did a better job (and can't remember the name of it, unfortunately) but this one is pretty good. It's not too technical (although more so than the other one I saw) and has some good information about clouds and weather.

Wonderful Observations

Comment:
Vincent Schaefer was an incredible individual. He was a scientist, observer and teacher. His photographs were taken, then developed/printed in his downstairs darkroom in Schenectady, NY. He had great insight into the physical world and could identify and convey its importance. Reader's share his remarkable insight and clarity when they choose one of his books.

Comment:
Everyone should own this wonderful book. The writing is clear and almost poetic and the photos show what's up there. Spirituality is in our minds; the clouds are the metaphor.

Comment:
This is an extremely handy book for making super quick predictions on the skies. Shows all sorts of different cloud formations and what they're bringing with them. Also nice photos of thunderstorms, lightning, etc. Good one to pick up just because.
