Clouds have been objects of delight and fascination throughout human history, their fleeting magnificence and endless variety having inspired scientists and daydreamers alike. Described by Aristophanes as the patron goddesses of idle men, clouds and the everchanging patterns they create have long symbolized the restlessness and unpredictability of nature, and yet they are also the source of lifegiving rains. In this book, Richard Hamblyn examines clouds in their cultural, historic, and scientific contexts, exploring their prevalence in our skies as well as in our literature, art, and music.As Hamblyn shows, clouds function not only as a crucial means of circulating water around the globe but also as a finely tuned thermostat regulating the planets temperature. He discusses the many different kinds of clouds, from high, scattered cirrus clouds to the plump thoughtbubbles of cumulus clouds, even exploring manmade clouds and clouds on other planets. He also shows how clouds have featured as meaningful symbols in human culture, whether as ominous portents of coming calamities or as ethereal figures giving shape to the heavens, whether in Wordsworths poetry or todays tech speak. Comprehensive yet compact, cogent and beautifully illustrated, this is the ultimate guidebook to those shapeshifters of the sky.

The artwork is gorgeous and just like I hoped. However, it took longer to arrive than I expected. It was a bit frustrating, but once I unwrapped it, I was really excited to hang it up!

Not Quite What I Expected
I thought the colors would be more vibrant. It looks nice on the wall, but I had imagined it would pop a bit more. Still, it's a nice piece for my office. Just not as eye-catching as I'd hoped.

Disappointed with the Packaging
The artwork itself is fine, but the packaging was damaged when it arrived. Luckily, it didn't affect the piece, but I was nervous at first. For the price, I expected better packaging.
