Cloudbook: I wrote a lil science communication book




So I wrote a short science communication book about the main different types of clouds. I wrote it for my girlfriend because she's pretty into clouds and I tried to make it as much of a learning experience that I could. That said, I am pretty proud of it and I definitely think it would be suitable for all ages. Just FYI, I am a molecular biologist, so I may have made some cloud ID mistakes.

I spent two years taking photos of every cloud type I could, to put them in this project. All but two of the photos are mine, because I couldn't get many photos of them pesky cumulonimbi! Attributions are on page 2.
This was originally going to be a popup book, but I realised that taking a photo every week or so is definitely easier than learning how to make sweet popups.



You might notice I tried to use visual cues to represent similarities between terminology to help with remembering the technical language.
I have licensed it under a Creative Commons Attribution NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License so feel free to share it, print it, torrent it, alter it, hold yearly burnings of it etc. If you would like any of the RAW cloud photos, just shoot me an email at bd.vezina@gmail.com and I will be happy to send them. I just don't want to take up unnecessary bandwidth on my Google Drive.
