[Peter · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is not a deep and detailed book of scientific research, just a good little pocket book to have when walking. If it can broaden someones knowledge then the author has achieved their goal.

Fairly detailed for teens and unaware adults like me alike. Nice visuals. But it would be great to know if there were experts i.e. meteorologists behind this book.

Too much information packed in such a small book, you end up feeling overwhelmed. Good for carrying around and consulting about the clouds you see, though.
