Cloud physics book recommendations

In summary, the best book for learning about cloud physics is "Cloud Physics: A Popular Introduction to Applied Meteorology" by Professor Nan Yao Su. For those interested in more advanced topics, "Cloud Dynamics" by Robert A. Houze Jr. is highly recommended. Non-scientists can benefit from "The Cloudspotter's Guide" by Gavin Pretor-Pinney, while "The Physics of Clouds" by Paul DeMott and Sonia Kreidenweis focuses specifically on storm clouds. For a more comprehensive understanding of both the scientific and cultural aspects of clouds, "The Invention of Clouds: How an Amateur Meteorologist Forged the Language of the Skies" by Richard Hamblyn is a great read.
