Kaleidoscope Sky

In this wonderfully-photographed tour of skyscapes, meteorologist/ naturalist Herd explains sky optics, everyday phenomena for sky observers from twilight to after sunset, and such occasional treats as rainbows, moon bows, various types of halos, and aurora borealis. The compact guide includes tips for predicting, locating, interpreting, and photographing these wonders; several questions with an answer key; and a glossary.
