Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an introduction to Mathematical Geography, a field of planetary science that explores the Earth's form, size, motions, and its ever-changing relationship with the Sun and Moon. Written to be accessible to general audiences, the author employs simple language and vivid illustrations to help visualize complex concepts. The book begins by establishing the Earth's spherical form and addressing the slight deviations from this shape. The author then delves into the Earth's two principal motions: rotation on its axis, which causes day and night, and revolution around the Sun, which results in seasons and differing lengths of daylight. Furthermore, the book explains how the changing position of the Earth's axis relative to the Sun leads to variations in solar intensity and temperature. Ultimately, the book enhances our appreciation of the intricate mechanics of our planet and its place within the solar system. 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. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780282138462_0
