About the Author:
Richard Inwards was born in 1840, and lived a fascinating life traveling the world in his capacity as a manager of international mining projects. From Norway to Bolivia, meteorological studies remained his main interest, and after settling in England he became joint editor of the Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society. He became president of the society in 1894, following Weather Lore's publication the previous year.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This beautifully illustrated collection of traditional Weather Lore, first published in 1893, reveals the important role all play in foretelling the weather around the world. The state of the weather is almost the first topic of conversation when people meet, which is not surprising when it is a matter of such importance to our wellbeing, health, prosperity, and even to life itself. Accurate weather predictions have always been an important human ambition and one that for some could ensure their success or failure. The result has been the framing of a rough set of rules about the weather. Some of these observations have become proverbs; others have taken the shape of rhymes; while many have been passed down by word of mouth, as mere records of facts. Covering all aspects of the weather including: Times and Seasons, Months, Days of the week, Winter birds and times of their arrival, Sun, Moon and Stars, Wind, Clouds, Mists, Haze, Dew, Fog, Sky, Air, Sound, Sea, Tide, Heat, Rain, Rainbow, Frost, Hail, Snow, Ice, Thunder and Lightning.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Writing in 1893 and wryly acknowledging that 'meteorology itself, especially as regards English weather, is very far from having reached the phase of an exact science', Richard Inwards presents a charmingly illustrated collection of sayings, proverbs and rhymes that have helped predict the weather around the world since ancient times.
