Voici l'histoire d'une des plus po�tiques avanc�es scientifiques du xixe si�cle, pourtant tout � fait inconnue.

En 1802, Luke Howard, un jeune Quaker, m�t�orologue amateur et pharmacien de son �tat, donne une conf�rence � Londres, dans un club qui rassemble les esprits curieux de son �poque. A la stup�faction g�n�rale, il pr�sente une classification des nuages et leur attribue les noms qu'ils portent encore aujourd'hui : cirrus, stratus, cumulus, nimbus...
Gr�ce � son travail, Howard a profond�ment boulevers� la m�t�orologie tout juste naissante, gagn� l'admiration de ses contemporains - qu'ils soient hommes de science, peintres ou po�tes - et inspir� de nombreux tableaux, odes et nouvelles d�couvertes.

Avec pr�cision et couleur, Richard Hamblyn nous restitue l'histoire de l'�tude des ph�nom�nes climatiques et toute une �poque passionnante qui vit au rythme des r�volutions scientifiques et des figures de g�nie.
Richard Hamblyn est dipl�m� des universit�s de l'Essex et de Cambridge. Il est docteur en histoire. L'Invention des nuages a obtenu le prix du Los Angeles Time.
