COSA SANNO LE NUVOLE? (WHAT DO CLOUDS KNOW? A JOURNEY TO DISCOVER WHAT THE WEATHER IS LIKE)

Book ID/图书代码： 01742010B35674

English Summary/英文概要： A well tested, narrative format for talking about meteorology in an interesting and absorbing manner.

Artemisia lives in Africa. And precisely in Guinea Bissau where her father works.

During her summer holidays she returns to Italy. When the time comes to go back to her family her grandfather Paolo takes her. The journey is very long and has lots of stopovers. Her grandfather, a weatherman by profession, decides to entertain his granddaughter by linking the changing landscape with the most significant aspects of his scientific expertise: the cold Alps provide an opportunity to talk about temperatures, clouds and fog. On the other hand it seems appropriate on an aeroplane to broach the subject of the atmosphere, but also of thunder and lightening, wind and torrential rain. In Lisbon, while waiting to take off towards Africa, it is pouring with rain: and thus comes the explanation of water cycles (the key element to all meteorology). As their destination draws closer there is still time to chat about the climate, the greenhouse effect and how weather forecasts are made.

Wouldn’t we all appreciate a well informed reply to the question: what will the weather be like tomorrow?
