How to find out about clouds
I bought this as a present for my sister and her husband who have recently started spending a . lot of time in Norfolk near the sea. Sitting outside with a G and T and looking up at the clouds and enormous skies, they have become very interested in finding out more about them. They think they may become bores on the subject - but this book is a great place to start learning. ,ots of information and beautiful photos.
