Synopsis of The Invention of Clouds
En los albores del siglo XIX, un joven cuáquero aficionado a la meteorología llamado Luke Howard logró un avance científico que lo catapultó a la fama. Este libro narra la historia de cómo Howard definió las estructuras que hasta entonces se consideraban aleatorias e incognoscibles: las nubes. Hamblyn explora la cultura, la religión, la estética y la literatura de la época, mostrando cómo Howard influyó en figuras como Coleridge, Goethe y Shelley antes de caer en el olvido.
