Présentation de l'éditeur
Early nineteenth-century farmers often sowed their crops on an arbitrarily chosen day every year. Impatient with this practice, naturalist Joseph Taylor (c.1761–1844) presents an alternative method in this work, which first appeared in 1812. He argues that by studying the atmosphere, the behaviour of animals and the condition of local flora, a farmer can not only determine the optimal time for sowing, but also forecast the weather. Including the Shepherd of Banbury's famous rules for judging changes in the weather, alongside remarks on the quality of this wisdom, Taylor's book also draws on a wealth of wider countryside knowledge. He observes, for example, that the flowering of primroses and lettuce occurs at such precise times as to be useful for botanical clocks, while the proximity of bees to their hives and the agitation of dogs suggest oncoming weather conditions.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the art of predicting the weather from the subtle changes in nature that have been observed for centuries, going back as far as ancient times. The author has collated a vast collection of these observations alongside philosophical insights and scientific data. The book is organised into three sections: observations derived from plants and animals, those indicated by the atmosphere, earth, seasons, and finally techniques gleaned from the use of barometers, hygrometers, rain gauges, and thermometers. This book will prove invaluable to those with an interest in meteorology, seasoned farmers or budding shepherds alike, and anyone looking to attune themselves with the natural world. 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 9781332351541_0
