sweekune 's review for:
The Cloudspotter's Guide
by Gavin Pretor-Pinney
slow-paced
An informative and interesting book about the delight that is the cloud world. An easy to approach description of cloud types, how they form and some history or anecdotes about then.
The good:
- Excellent information and facts about clouds. The fact file at the beginning of each cloud type's chapter was an excellent touch.
- Stories about the history of meteorology and cloud study was great and extras bits about scientific research and real life experiences added to the book well.
- The little images and diagrams added to and aided explanations well.
What could have been better:
- This book is slow and relaxed. Unfortunately it was occasionally so slow and relaxed that I became bored and put the book down for weeks at a time.
- It would have been nice to have colour images beyond the small glossy section in the middle of the book.
