Anotace
The history of a man who transformed the relationship between the world and its overarching sky.n the early nineteenth century a shy young Quaker, Luke Howard, conducted pioneering work to understand and define what had previously seemed random and unknowable structures: clouds. His scientific achievements, and the poetic names he gave to the clouds, propelled him to international fame, and he became a cult figure for Romantics such as Shelley and Goethe. Offering rich insights into the nature of celebrity, the relationship between science and the arts, and the excitement generated by new ideas, The Invention of Clouds is an enthralling work of social and scientific history.
