Description
And once you’ve discovered all the names for clouds, you probably still haven’t considered what clouds dream about, or how they dance, or how rain sounds like piano chords. The Cloudspotter’s Guide: The Science, History, and Culture of Clouds by Gavin Pretor-Pinney touches on the science, history, and culture of clouds. Whether you’re a weather watcher, an enthusiast, or just really curious, this is a fun book to explore. The Emma Press is an independent publisher specialising in poetry, short fiction and children’s books.
You can pick up a lot of scientific books that talk about the different clouds and get you better acquainted and you can also pick up something that’s a lot more complex if you are already well-versed when it comes to cloud formations. She warns that it’s definitely for cloud-loving people and for those that are interested in the weather and history. To begin your first novel with an appearance from Hitler disguised as an old woman is a daring gambit. The book is, on one level, an ambitious re-writing — a re-synthesis, even — of concepts of media and culture. With lots of flaps to lift, this delightful book encourages children to explore clouds for themselves, spotting shapes in the sky, looking at the simple science behind them and learning a few cloud myths along the way.Im Anschluss habe ich etwas nachrecherchiert und es ist unglaublich, was Zach Sobiech der Welt hinterlassen, wie viele Menschen er berührt und sogar deren Leben geändert hat.
is a deft, unforgettable portrait of the child and the girl the author was who dwell so delightedly in her still, avid for insight and all the crucial refreshment that beauty, literature and art bring to life. A mix of dreamy fantasy and scientific fact, this is the perfect gift for any child with their head stuck in the clouds – and for anyone who has ever wondered what’s up there in the skies above.Conversant with the philosophical traditions and with the ongoing debates in Germany, where this emerging discipline took its origin, his epistemological realism overcomes the conventional positions of the ‘linguistic turn’ and of ‘constructivism’ with a fresh and truly inspired unfolding of intuitions ranging from Martin Heidegger's ‘fourfold’ to the Emersonian philosophy of nature.
Peters’s book will not only change how we think about media but provide a new appreciation for the day-to-day foundations of life on earth that we so often take for granted. The book is edited by one of Britain’s best paraglider pilots Hugh Miller and former BBC journalist Andrew Craig who between them have more than 50 years of free-flight experience. Zach was a normal kid, he was an extroverted and friendly guy and this is a big part of why he ended up being catapulted to the heights that he was.Das Buch steht dem Film in nichts nach und ich fand es enorm interessant, wie Zachs Mutter alles erlebt und gesehen hat. This book was uplifting and Laura shared so much wisdom scattered throughout the pages that really perked up my ears and heart many times.
