"…Still there is something new in the heavens. We have always a resource in the skies. They are constantly turning a new page to view.…and the inquiring mind may always read a new truth." - Henry David Thoreau (1817-62)
A new, updated edition and definitive guide to clouds published in association with the Met Office, the UK’s national weather service founded in 1854. This fascinating, revised edition of a bestselling title now includes twelve newly recognised cloud forms. Illustrated with colour photographs from around the world, the expert text explores and explains clouds in all their forms – from low, medium and high to accessory clouds and even man-made clouds. Plus a guide to optical phenomena and effects. Learn to identify different clouds, understand how they change and what that means for likely weather patterns.

Amazing and lovely. Amazing because it's the story of clouds. We see them everyday, without actually seeing them at all. Now I look up in wonder. Lovely because the photography is stunning. The colours, the light and dark. What a show we have going on up there in the sky and it's free of charge.
