John Ruskin's ""The Storm-Cloud of the Nineteenth Century"" presents a powerful, prescient vision of environmental change. Drawn from lectures delivered in 1884, Ruskin explores the emergence of a peculiar and ominous ""storm-cloud"" across the skies of Europe. More than a simple meteorological observation, Ruskin connects this atmospheric phenomenon to the broader consequences of industrialization and pollution.

Delving into the aesthetics and science of clouds, Ruskin meticulously documents the shift in atmospheric conditions and speculates on the potential causes, anticipating modern concerns about climate change and air pollution. This edition makes Ruskin's important work available, offering insights into nineteenth-century perspectives on environmentalism and the delicate balance of nature. Explore the intersection of art, science, and environmental awareness in this historically significant work on clouds and the changing world.
