Print on Demand. This book gives a thorough overview of equatorial climate conditions and meteorological phenomena in the Congo. By assessing historical records and meteorological observations, the author compiles a comprehensive climatology of the region. By comparing data from the Congo to tropical and temperate climates, the book highlights the stark contrast between these environments, revealing the Congo's distinct climate patterns, temperature stability, and humidity levels. The author utilizes observations from across the Congo to examine the regional variations in climate, considering altitude, proximity to the coast, and the shift from the rainy to dry season. The book analyzes the impact of these factors on the overall climate, providing valuable insights into the region's unique weather patterns. 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.…

Enfin, la Commission nommée parla Société de Médecine publique avait, dès le début de ses travaux, élaboré un questionnaire qui avait été adressé à tous les chefs de poste, missionnaires ou agents commer ciaux établis sur le territoire de l'état Indépendant. Ce questionnaire, outre des renseignements sur la situation physique des stations, sollicitait des données sur le régime des pluies et des vents, sur la température, sur le régime des eaux fluviales, etc. Des réponses nous sont parvenues en grand nombre; elles ont été utilisées pour la rédaction de la partie de notre travail qui débute page 149. C'est un devoir pour nous d'adresser nos remerciements à tous ceux qui, au Congo, nous ont obligeamment prêté leur concours.
Après l'impression de la première partie de notre Rapport, beau coup de documents, émanant la plupart du Gouvernement de l'état, nous ont encore été transmis. Si notre oeuvre peut offrir quelque mérite, elle le doit surtout à ces séries d'observations encore inédites, et dont quelques - unes embrassent une période déjà assez longue.
Ainsi que nous l'avons fait remarquer en maint endroit de notre ouvrage, les données fort nombreuses que nous sommes parvenus à rassembler n'offrent pas toutes un égal degré de valeur scientifique. Les unes ont été obtenues avec toute la précision que le meteoro logiste peut exiger, d'autres, recueillies avec grand soin, pèche... parfois sous le rapport de la qualité des instruments employés, d'autres enfin ne sont que des appréciations plus ou moins indi viduelles, mais, nous tenons à le dire, le plus souvent émises par des personnes douées de l'esprit d'observation. Toutes ces données, celles de la derniere catégorie notamment, ont été soigneusement examinées avant d'être utilisées, et nous n'avons pas hésité à rejeter celles d'entre elles qui ne paraissaient pas suffisamment dignes de confiance.
Notre livre peut se ressentir de ce manque d'unité dans la valeur des éléments que nous avons en à mettre en oeuvre, mais on voudra bien nous excuser en songeant à la somme énorme de travail qu'il a exigée, car la plupart des observations inédites ont dû être réduites, il a fallu en calculer les moyennes, les disposer en tableaux résumés, etc.

All Forgotten Books titles are printed on demand. The moment an order is submitted, it is automatically transmitted to our distributor and then forwarded to the printer, where it enters production. This process begins within minutes and is entirely automated.
A cancellation, however, is a manual, multi-step request that must pass through several systems. By the time such a request reaches the appropriate stage, the book has almost always been printed, packed, or already dispatched, which makes cancellation impossible.
For this reason, we kindly ask that you double-check the title, edition, and your shipping details before placing an order.
If you change your mind after ordering, you are welcome to return the book once it arrives, and a refund will be issued in accordance with AbeBooks’ return policy.

We can provide digital samples for all our print books ahead, so don't hesitate to reach out.
