Synopsis
Excerpt from Reading the Weather, Vol. 43
One strange thing about this flood-tide of science is that it overwhelms the old, buttressed superstitions the easiest Of all, once it really sets about it. For instance, nothing could have been better fortified for centuries than the fact that night air is injurious and should be shut out Of house. Then, science turned its eye upon night air, found it a little cooler, a trifle moister, and somewhat cleaner than day air with the result that we all invite it indoors, now, and even go out to meet it.

Reading the Weather, Vol. 43 (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an in-depth exploration of the science and folklore of weather forecasting. While the author was compelled to write this book due to the lack of accessible weather forecasting information for the average reader in 1923, it remains highly relevant today. It traces the history and evolution of weather forecasting, from the ancient Greeks who believed that weather was caused by the gods, through the development of instruments like the barometer and thermometer, to the modern science of meteorology. Comprehensive but not overly complex, the author writes about a range of topics that include the formation of clouds, how wind and temperature work, and how weather is influenced by altitude and geography. The author's enthusiasm for the subject is evident throughout the text and will appeal to a broad audience of nature lovers, meteorologists, and anyone interested in experiencing or understanding the world around them. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332240142_0
