Breaking Through the Clouds: The Sometimes Turbulent Life of Meteorologist Joanne Simpson
- Brand: Unbranded
Description
Returning home to Wood's Hole, Massachusetts, Joanne continued to study clouds, discovering more and more surprising things about them. Unafraid, she would fly under, over and through all kinds of clouds, including the scary cumulonimbi clouds filling with gusting winds and rain, eventually coming to understand the power of these massive clouds. One of the things I really liked about the way Joanne's life was presented were the many weather related metaphors that the author used. It's a wonderful way to get kids to understand not just metaphors, but also a topic about which they may have no other knowledge. For example: "By the time Joanne was ten, she had learned her mother's words could be icier that the coldest winds."

Being a female pilot in 1929 came with it's own set of unique obstacles. Not only did women have to continually prove their skills, they had to defend their wardrobe since wearing pants was distinctly unfeminine.Aviation was still in its' infancy with planes basically made of wood, fabric, and an often unreliable motor.There was no GPS. No radios. Just the pilot, the roar of the motor, and the clouds in the sky.If you were lost, you landed in an open field and asked a surprised farmer for direction.The women in the derby were essentially test pilots flying in all out speed race pushing the planes, each other, and the public’s perception of what was possible.These brave contestants embodied the enthusiasm of the era while promoting a purpose bigger than themselves. They combined their passion and transferred their dreams to the world, becoming symbols of hope for a nation between two World Wars.After the war, Joanne wanted to study more about clouds but she was laughed at by the men at the university. Clouds weren't really that important. In fact, Rossby even told her to go home, saying "No woman ever got a doctorate in meteorology. And no woman ever will." But Joanne was stubborn. She continued to study clouds, discovering some surprising properties about them. Finally, after presenting her finding to the professors at the university, Joanne had indeed earned a doctorate of meteorology, the first woman to do so. In thinking of how to best share the story of the race behind Breaking Through The Clouds, I felt it was important to be as accurate as possible, showing how ordinary people can be extraordinary.In today’s media world, so many stories are enhanced and sensationalized for supposed dramatic effect.This story doesn’t need any sensationalizing.The courage and strength each pilot demonstrated by facing daily challenges whether it was mechanical, societal, or their own individual pressures is dramatic in its own right.Their vulnerability and “failures” is part of their charm.
Overall I think this is a great biography of a woman worth knowing about, and interestingly covers the science of meteorology in an age-appropriate way. an enjoyable and mildly satisfactory read. loved how all the cases were intricately woven together. the characterization was pretty good and the pacing was just right, absolutely perfect for this novel. i liked that good balance of intense action, investigation and thrill with a tap of mystery. the twists and turns caught me off guard here nd there but tbh, the flow was great so i wasn't "surprised" by half of the things but the plot points went over really smoothly and i like good writing so i won't complain that i predicted a couple things. the aesthetic of the setting was so obvious i just cant not predict half the things. nonetheless, the story was good. it held my attention. that is enough. Po Yun es, oíganme bien, la mejor novela de crimen que he leído en mi vida. La trama es una delicia. Y, ah, cuando al fin lees el pasado de Jiang Ting, todo te hace clic.
