“[A] year’s worth of everything from Cirrus fibratus to Cumulo-stratus . . . reminds us that self-care is as available as a glance out the window.” —The New York Times (Holiday Gift Pick)   Cloudspotter and bestselling author Gavin Pretor-Pinney delivers a moment of calm atmospheric contemplation to members of his Cloud Appreciation Society by sharing a cloud image and story every day. A Cloud a Day urges all of us to keep our heads in the clouds with 365 fascinating formations from his extraordinarily popular Cloud Appreciation Society collection. Inspirational quotes and informative cloud facts accompany provocative and meditative images of the sky, encouraging readers to pause for a moment and look up. A beautifully illustrated book, A Cloud a Day makes a wonderful gift for dedicated or erstwhile cloudspotters—as for any of us with our heads lost in them.  “In his introduction, Pretor-Pinney explains that we live upon an ocean of gasses, and that it would improve the quality of our lives to spend a bit of time noticing that ever-changing ocean around us. After perusing this enlightening book, many readers will agree.” —BookPage  “This meditative book gives you a daily dose of quotes, facts, and of course, clouds. Perfect for someone who you’d like to encourage to look up, or whose head is in the clouds most of the time anyway.” —Read Now Sleep Later  “If you’re not interested in the science, the book will endear itself to you for the photographs, paintings, and prints it contains.” —The Backroom
