The book helps explain almost every kind cloud type in easy laymen terms, from fair weather cumulus to the lenticularis cloud (a distinctive disc shape that forms due to rising and dipping flow of wind over mountain peaks). From Rupert Brooke `Clouds` poem to Nasa images of Actinoform clouds, which are radial, leaf-like patterns of clouds only visible from space. From suggested explanations of the skies painted by Van Gogh to the various names given to crepuscular rays (beams of light from between clouds that are called Jacob`s ladder in much of the Western world, but Buddha`s rays in Sri Lanka). A wondrous, beautifully illustrated book to inform, delight and inspire. This is the perfect book to make you stop for a moment each day and look at the sky.
