当今杰出的纸艺艺术家迈克•比德斯塔德特将图书设计提升到了新的高度，为读者带来了五个沉浸式的天气场景。每个版面展开之后，都会出现一个精心设计的景观——一艘货船像果壳一样在海中的高浪之间平衡；一场龙卷风可怕地瞄准了一辆试图躲避它的卡车；一朵喷雨的风暴云像摩天大楼一样耸立在农舍之上。大自然的精致之美在形状复杂的雪花和闪闪发光的弧形彩虹中显现出来。每一页都有关于天气事件的详细描述，书的结尾是对气候变化影响的清醒评论。对于萌芽期的气候学家来说，这是一本奇妙的天气入门书，同时也是收藏家们将会珍藏的艺术之旅。

In her hugely successful books Creatures of the Deep and What's in the Egg, as well as her enormously popular series of greeting cards for the Museum of Modern Art, Maike Biederstaedt has established herself as one of the preeminent paper artists working today. Now Biederstaedt takes book engineering to new heights as she immerses readers in five electrifying weather scenarios. As each spread unfolds, a meticulously designed landscape emerges--

a freighter balances like a nutshell between high waves in the sea; a tornado takes terrifying aim at a truck trying to outrun it; a rain-

spewing storm cloud towers like a skyscraper over a farm house. Nature's delicate beauty emerges in the intricate shapes of a snowflake and in the luminous arc of a rainbow. Each page features an informative description of its weather event and the book closes with sobering commentary on the effects of climate change. A wondrous introduction to weather for budding climatologists, this is also an artistic tour de force that collectors will treasure.
