The Met Office Pocket Cloud Book

Este livro é excelente. Ando sempre com ele no bolso, e muitos dos meus alunos também já o compraram.

Small, hardbound book, bought to complement Gavin Pretor-Pinney's The Cloudspotter's Guide and Cloud Collector's Handbook. Straightforward descriptions of clouds, and lots of pictures (nearly every page has one, and most pictures occupy about half a page for easy viewing). While there is a 2-page quick reference to the book's various cloud types , it does lack some sort of step-by-step chart to help you differentiate what kind of cloud(s) are currently overhead.

Everyone who is interested in the clouds and in identifying the clouds, should have this book.The book gives a lot of information about the clouds and it helps you to identify them.

If you've ever wondered aloud what sort of cloud was drifting across your field of vision as you lay back in your garden lounger. If you've ever seen clouds rolling in as you pass the point of no-return between your house and the pub and wondered if you should have brought a coat. If you've got fed up with other 'spotting' hobbies because the focus of your hobby keeps flying or buzzing away before you can get an identification book out. Then cloud spotting and this book is for you.The guide is very logically laid out with each cloud having its own section. There's a handy quick reference bit at the front with small pictures of clouds and the pages you need to turn to for a more detailed identification. Each section has a description of what a particular cloud can tell you about the weather due to come your way. This is one of the clearest and best laid out books, of its type, I have ever seen.I've bought several copies for other people who, upon seeing my copy, have asked for their own. There's quite a group of us at work across the world who now are members of the cloud spotting fraternity and have copies of this book. I can't help but feel that this is how loony cults start!Buy this book and join us!

An excellent pocket sized book full of well organised facts and explanations along with numerous colour photographs making spotting individual cloud types and weather interpretations very easy.
