Critics Review
“In this theoretical and practical guide for reading the sky, Vincenzo Levizzani summarizes in a text dense with information but easy to read all the notions that are useful for observing the sky with a scientific eye, without forgetting, however, the poetic charm that the sky has exerted on humankind since the dawn of history.”Oggi Scienza“Technically rigorous and enjoyable to read, The Book of Clouds suggests a novel task for the holidays: look up from your smartphone and gaze at the sky!”Il Fatto Quotidiano
