Book Description
Excerpt from Elements of Meteorology, Vol. 2 of 2 However this may be, my mind was thus directed to the deposition of moisture which takes place upon certain bodies when brought into an atmosphere which is warmer than themselves; and following up the suggestion of Pliny, I readily conceived that the fact was connected with meteorological phenomena; and that experiments, founded upon it, might be devised to elucidate the relation of air to vapour. I shortly after applied myself seriously to the inquiry, and was soon satisfied of the accuracy of the conjecture.

Book Description
Excerpt from Elements of Meteorology, Vol. 2: Part II; Meteorological Cycles The opening sentence sufficiently indicates without further remark that this volume by itself is incomplete, and that it must be preceded by another, of which it is a mere episode, and in which general and more comprehensive principles are discussed. It may, however, be necessary to give an explanation of the anomaly of publishing the Second Part first. In a sojourn in the Rocky Mountains, during the Summer of 1874, having leisure, I completed a work on Meteorology, based upon original researches, in which I have been engaged for over twelve years, the results of which I had been employed for the last five years in systematizing and elaborating, as time and opportunity offered. When completed I offered it to the Eastern publishers; but, with one exception, they all refused to look at it; and the exceptional case was a compromise, to get rid of importunity, by consenting to look at one Chapter. The following was the result: "We have examined the manuscript, and we think you have treated the subject with signal ability, and that the work is likely to prove interesting, and which will attract the general attention of scholars and scientific men; but for purely business reasons we have decided not to undertake its publication." These "business reasons," of course, were understood to be the same as those expressed by other publishers applied to: "Nobody reads Science, but everybody reads novels; if you have any thing of the latter we will give it favorable consideration." This we would take as a compliment to our system of public education if it stopped with the first proposition, "Nobody reads Science." But if the other proposition be just and true, that the mental cravings of the present generation, both young and old, are satisfied with the vapid and trashy romances and novels of the day, then it is the severest criticism of, and commentary upon, our system of public education, we have yet seen. If such be the result, then the less we have of it the better. After having devoted and spent the prime of my life in building up that system, I am loath to believe it; and take it to be that the public read novels because authors and the press do not furnish them any thing better. But what shall we think of Science that nobody reads? "Ah! there's the rub." Science should be Wisdom; it should not only be Truth, but demonstrated Truth. Is this the case with what has been dignified as Science? We are afraid not. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

An Introduction to Dynamic Meteorology
Author: James R. HoltonPublisher: Academic Press
ISBN: 0122543602
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 409
Book Description
For advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students in atmospheric, oceanic, and climate science, Atmosphere, Ocean and Climate Dynamics is an introductory textbook on the circulations of the atmosphere and ocean and their interaction, with an emphasis on global scales. It will give students a good grasp of what the atmosphere and oceans look like on the large-scale and why they look that way. The role of the oceans in climate and paleoclimate is also discussed. The combination of observations, theory and accompanying illustrative laboratory experiments sets this text apart by making it accessible to students with no prior training in meteorology or oceanography. * Written at a mathematical level that is appealing for undergraduates and beginning graduate students * Provides a useful educational tool through a combination of observations and laboratory demonstrations which can be viewed over the web * Contains instructions on how to reproduce the simple but informative laboratory experiments * Includes copious problems (with sample answers) to help students learn the material.
