Seven Lectures on Meteorology

Discover the groundbreaking insights of meteorology with "Seven Lectures on Meteorology" by Luke Howard, a pivotal figure in the field who famously categorized clouds into the terms we use today—cumulus, cirrus, stratus, and nimbus. Originally published in 1837, this insightful volume introduces seven fundamental factors that influence weather patterns, laying the groundwork for modern meteorological science. This reissued edition, published by Cambridge University Press in 2011, not only revives Howard's seminal work but also includes his shorter 1842 book, which presents an extensive analysis of British weather data collected over an impressive eighteen-year span. With 230 pages of rich content, this paperback is essential for anyone interested in the evolution of meteorology and its critical role in understanding our atmosphere. Dive into the mind of a pioneer who shaped our understanding of weather today.
