Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Cloud Studies is a lucid and visually attentive contribution to the literature of meteorology, devoted to the observation, classification, and interpretation of cloud forms. Combining scientific exposition with the sensibility of a careful naturalist, the book situates clouds not as picturesque ornament but as evidence of atmospheric process. Its style is exact, patient, and pedagogic, reflecting the late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century movement to make weather study empirical, photographic, and accessible. Arthur William Clayden was a British educator, meteorologist, and accomplished photographer whose interests naturally converged in this work. His experience in teaching science encouraged clarity of explanation, while his photographic practice gave him an unusually disciplined eye for transient sky phenomena. Writing at a time when meteorology was becoming increasingly systematic, Clayden helped translate observation into method, showing how repeated looking could become scientific knowledge. This book is recommended for readers interested in the history of science, atmospheric observation, landscape perception, or the relationship between photography and knowledge. It will especially reward those who wish to understand how ordinary skies became subjects of rigorous study, and how beauty and scientific precision can illuminate one another.…
