The Complete Weather Guide

A Collection of Practical Observations for Prognosticating the Weather, Drawn from Plants, Animals, Inanimate Bodies, and Also by Means of Philosophical Instruments

af Joseph Taylor

Bog, Paperback, Engelsk, 2013

Written principally for farmers, this 1812 work by the naturalist Joseph Taylor (c.1761-1844) trawls the English countryside for meteorological clues. From the barometrical qualities of chickweed to the activities of bats, ants and oxen, the natural world is transformed into one great forecasting system for the sufficiently observant.
