From the Geisterbahnhof (ghost stations) left abandoned during the wall years to the announcements of the U-Bahn it is highly evocative of place. Prekrasne,živopisne sličice Berlina viđene očima Meksikanke ,koja je izabrala grad ,za neki svoj novi početak. Overall: beautiful, dreamy writing, lots of solitary musing and a good sense of the city of Berlin and its history. Here’s another sweet book for toddlers and young preschoolers about a little cloud that changes shape in the sky.

She gets a part-time job doing transcription work for a historian, goes on a few lacklustre dates with a fairly nondescript meteorologist, becomes slightly obsessed with a mentally ill woman, avoids her neighbours, develops insomnia. Indeed, weather is a key element of Chloe Aridjis's urban vision: Tatiana's narrative of Berlin opens with a storm that shakes the dust of the past up from between her floorboards and closes with a freak fog that envelops the whole city. She looks at it as a great tool if your interest is to understand all the different types of clouds. It is also a response to the fall of the wall and an outsider's portrait of Berlin's many layers of history.All the major cloud types are discussed and illustrated, including clouds on other planets, as well as the increasing number of man-made clouds that fill our changeable skies.

With 25 poems and many full-page illustrations that use watercolour and collage, you won’t be able to pick The Book of Clouds up without wanting to immediately start making your own cloud diary.Look up in the sky and you'll see that each and every bit of cloud is telling us a different story, in addition to the spectacle you see right before your eyes. I really like how the book illustrates many different types of clouds – not just your basic cumulus, cirrus, and stratus. Because the character never doubts either event, the novel creates an opening: I expected the narrator to develop a story about her mildly, occasionally delusional protagonist, and I thought the novel would probably develop into a story about her decline. You understand the history of it all (like why it came about) and all of the challenges that have arisen when it comes to naming these ever-changing forms in the sky. The Cloudspotter’s Guide: The Science, History, and Culture of Clouds by Gavin Pretor-Pinney touches on the science, history, and culture of clouds.
