Richard Hamblyn 143150 - The Invention of Clouds

 1538399175,
Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2001. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 403. The Invention of Clouds is the true story of Luke Howard, the amateur English meteorologist who in 1802 gave the clouds their names - cumulus, cirrus, stratus. He immediately gained international fame, becoming a cult figure among artists and painters - Goethe, Constable, and Coleridge revered him - and legitimizing the science of meteorology. Part history of science, part cultural excavation, this is not only the biography of a man, but of a moment: the cultural birth of the modern scientific era. ISBN: 9780374177157. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
