"The early years of the nineteenth century saw an intriguing yet little-known scientific advance catapult a shy young Quaker to the dizzy heights of fame. The Invention of Clouds tells the story of an amateur meteorologist Luke Howard and his work to define what had hitherto been random and unknowable structures - clouds."--BOOK JACKET.
