See the sky as you never have before. Using a series of his awe-inspiring images, photographer and scientist John Day--who has a Ph.D. in cloud physics and is known round the world as "The Cloudman"--introduces us to earth's great skyscape. His spectacular portfolio of pictures captures a variety of cloud forms and shapes, ranging from cottony-soft cumulus clouds to frightening, whirling funnels, as well as a number of optical effects, such as coronas and halos, seen in the heavens above. A magnificent cloud chart; an explanation of clouds formation; hints on forecasting, observing, and photographing clouds; and his "Ten Reasons to Look Up" teach us to use our inner eye to really perceive those familiar fleeting forms.

  • The Book of Clouds
    I also bought this book for my son-in-law. Everyone in the family loved the book. It is probably the most interesting of all the 4 books that I bought him this year.
  • Great for artist reference
    This book has terrific color shots of many different kinds of clouds and skies. It's an amazing book for using as an art reference and pretty much covers every kind of cloud you can imagine.
  • Almost Heaven!
    For many years, I lived in the beautiful state of Texas, with wide open skies wherever you'd look. After moving to a large city in an eastern state, suddenly the sky became something I had to look hard to find. Skyscrappers tend to block the view. This book not only gives me my sky views back, it tells me just what I am looking at. Thank you for the beautiful photos.
