This is not true of Vincenzo Levizzani. As one of the world's leading experts on the physics of clouds, he has devoted his life to studying them, analysing their characteristics, and passing this knowledge on to others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Book of Clouds\u003c\/i\u003e, Levizzani provides a marvellous introduction to the history and science of clouds - from the many ways that they have influenced art and culture to the ways that they have been studied, classified, and understood, from understanding how clouds form and distribute precipitation to understanding how they are affected by climate change. The result is a book that provides readers with everything they need to know to recognize different clouds, interpret their behaviour, and understand what is likely to happen if we are foolish enough to disrupt the delicate balance between the Earth and the skies that has blessed us with a habitable climate for millennia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExquisitely illustrated, \u003ci\u003eThe Book of Clouds\u003c\/i\u003e offers a deep dive into clouds, droplets, crystals, graupels, and hailstones, among other things. It will be the indispensable guide for anyone who has gazed aloft and wondered what to make of the different clouds and cloud formations that fill our skies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVincenzo Levizzani\u003c\/b\u003e was Director of Research at the National Research Council of Italy and Professor of Cloud Physics at the University of Bologna until his retirement in July 2024.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 8.4 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 30, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48272123068637,"sku":"9781509572380","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/zt1XpyWMfT9781509572380.webp?v=1785256819","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/the-book-of-clouds-how-to-read-the-sky-hardcover","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
