Weather. Pop-up Book

In her widely acclaimed works "Creatures of the Deep" and "What's in the Egg," along with her highly popular greeting card collection for the Museum of Modern Art, Maike Biederstaedt has firmly positioned herself as a leading figure in the world of paper art. With her latest endeavor, Biederstaedt elevates the craft of book engineering, guiding readers through five exhilarating weather phenomena.

Nature's fragile beauty is captured in the delicate forms of snowflakes and the radiant arch of a rainbow. Each page is accompanied by an insightful description of the respective weather event, and the book concludes with thought-provoking reflections on the consequences of climate change. This work serves as a captivating introduction to meteorology for aspiring climatologists and stands as an artistic masterpiece that collectors will cherish.
