August - The Cloud Collector’s Handbook by Gavin Pretor-Pinney - £10

An essential and entertaining aid for everyday cloudspotting, especially if you can’t tell your altocumulus from your cirrocumulus! Entertaining and educational at the same time, this pocket-sized guide will help you identify cloud formations, each fully described and illustrated with a range of photos, and allow you to record where and when you saw them. The perfect accompaniment to the English summer, which more often than not presents us with plenty of opportunities for cloud spotting. And since clouds are not unique to England, nor to summer, you can take it anywhere in the world with you. Great fun for adults and children
