{"product_id":"9781452177083","title":"Storm Cloud: A Weather Predicting Instrument","description":"\"Special liquid inside this weather cloud crystalizes in different patterns as the air pressure changes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe \"storm glass\" weather predictor - ancestor of this charming cloud - was popularized by pioneering meteorologist Robert Fitzroy, captain of HMS Beagle (famous for a passenger named Charles Darwin). In this playful interpretation, changes in barometric pressure make the special liquid crystallize in different patterns, mimicking the look of its cotton-ball-like cumulus cousin. This decorative meteorological marvel delights on desks, bookshelves, tables, and windowsills, an imaginative meeting of science and art with a dash of magic. The Beagle’s storm glass circumnavigated South America; yours can accompany you to Planet Weather Nerd. Designed in the United Kingdom. Made in China.","brand":"Chronicle Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47920701931760,"sku":"9781452177083","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781452177083_p0.jpg?v=1763840653","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781452177083","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
