Présentation de l'éditeur
Luke Howard (1772–1864) was a pharmacist and businessman, but is most famous for his contributions to meteorology. He classified clouds by their appearance and gave them their modern names of cumulus, cirrus, nimbus and stratus. He was educated at a Quaker school in Oxfordshire, then trained as a pharmacist, but was fascinated by weather throughout his life, and developed into a keen amateur meteorologist. He wrote several important texts on the subject including The Climate of London, an early study in urban climatology, and On the Modification of Clouds (both also reissued in this series). Published in 1837, Seven Lectures on Meteorology covers the components of the atmosphere, seasonal variation in winds and temperature, the use of barometers, cloud structure, and visual phenomena such as rainbows and the Aurora Borealis. This reissue also includes Howard's short 1842 book which details selected British weather data from 1824 to 1841.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the study of meteorology, the science that investigates the Earth's air, weather, and seasons. The author presents established facts and principles in a manner designed to instruct and entertain, drawing upon both personal observations and prior publications. The book begins by introducing the composition and properties of the atmosphere, describing its weight, elasticity, and role as a medium for sound and combustion. The author's experiments demonstrate the pressure and expansion of air. The book then discusses the Earth's winds, classifying them by their direction and explaining the factors that influence their movement, such as temperature differences and the Earth's rotation. The author also explores the effects of climate and seasons on vegetation, animal life, and human growth. The book concludes by examining the astronomical causes of climate variations, highlighting the impact of the Sun's position and rays on the distribution of heat across the globe. The author demonstrates how these factors contribute to the diverse climates and seasons experienced on Earth. By providing a clear and engaging account of meteorology, this book offers a valuable resource for those seeking to understand the natural phenomena that shape our planet.
