Add to basketHardback. Condition: New. We spend a great deal of time living under the cover of clouds, but rarely do we look up and pay attention to them, and most of us know very little about what they are and the vital role they play in the Earth's climate and ecosystem. 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.In The Book of Clouds, Levizzani provides a marvellous introduction to the history and science of clouds - from their influence on art and culture to the ways they have been studied and classified, from understanding how they form and how they produce precipitation to investigating the way 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.Exquisitely illustrated, The Book of Clouds 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.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. ¿Cuándo fue la última vez que miraste hacia arriba? Nuestra ajetreada vida nos mantiene fijos en las pantallas de los móviles, en el ordenador o en el asfalto tras el volante. Decimos que quien está «en las nubes» es un distraído o un soñador; pero el climatólogo y físico atmosférico Vincenzo Levizzani viene a desmontar este tópico: él siempre ha tenido la cabeza en las nubes y ha convertido esta fascinación en su profesión. ¿Qué significa ese tono rosado en las nubes al atardecer? ¿Es cierto que el «cielo aborregado» anuncia lluvia? ¿Por qué no hay dos nubes iguales? ¿Qué es la nefología? ¿Cómo se forma una tormenta perfecta? ¿Qué nos revelan los cristales de hielo, esas obras maestras de la naturaleza? Entre gotitas, graupel y granizo, descubriremos las respuestas a estas y otras preguntas, adentrándonos en el interior de las nubes para desvelar sus secretos más íntimos. Siguiendo la estela de viajeros, artistas y soñadores que a lo largo de la historia han alzado la mirada en busca de inspiración, Levizzani observa las nubes con los ojos de la ciencia y desde perspectivas poco comunes: no solo desde el prado o las vastas sierras, sino también desde el laboratorio, el avión, el radar y el satélite. En estas páginas, nos enseña a leer el cielo y a entender lo que las nubes nos dicen. Una invitación a alzar la mirada y redescubrir, con ojos nuevos, las maravillas que flotan sobre nuestras cabezas. «Probablemente, después de leer este libro, nunca volverás a mirar al cielo sin hacerte preguntas y esperar la próxima nube». Istituto di Scienze dell'Atmosfera e del Clima. «La curiosidad es la sal de la investigación científica; sin ella, la ciencia se convierte en un ejercicio de catalogación. Al mirar una nube, todos estamos llamados a maravillarnos de su belleza, pero también a entender por qué tiene una determinada forma, color o tamaño». R. Bontempi, Giornale di Brescia. «Todo lo que nos interesa de la vida proviene del ciclo del agua: evaporación, condensación en las nubes, precipitaciones. la física atmosférica será una de las profesiones del mañana». M. Garofalo, HuffPost. «Un manual práctico y teórico para leer el cielo, para distraerse entre cirros, cumulonimbos, cirrostratos, cúmulos, cirrocúmulos o nimbostratos. Porque las nubes son poéticas, bellísimas a veces tormentosas, pero las nubes también son el terreno de la física, de la química y de la biología». E. Barbieri, Il Giornale. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente. No aceptamos pedidos con destino a Ceuta y Melilla.
